I see a lot of chat here about components, but not much about EQing a room. Is the belief that hifi audio systems should rely solely on the output of their components? I added a mixer with parametric EQ to my rig and it really allowed me to improve the sound quality…
There is a massive stigma about EQ / DSP / Room Correction but I found it to be the biggest sound quality improvement I’ve made to my system costing over £10k.
If you’ve got room problems that can’t be solved any other way like I did and many others do then it can make a higher difference to the sound.
The stigma started at the shop I bought some of my equipment from. Stating that the amp I bought was not good enough and that I would benefit from something else.
Either way I bought the amp with Dirac inside and I was absolutely floored by how terrible my system sounded prior to running Dirac and just how amazing it sounded afterwards.
