After using the 'focused imaging' arrangement on Dirac 3.0 for a week or so, I'm very very impressed by how well it performs. My bass response sounds better than anything I could achieve (or have achieved) myself manually (or anyone without a proper education on acoustics for that matter). Also, apparently there is something called a sound stage that I didn't have before.
I really thought it was expectation bias, but I can ABX the Dirac filters (MiniDSP device) and this thing is really doing God's work on my system.
I mean it won't fix any speakers that are inherently flawed, but I feel it did a good job separating the effect of the room and the response of my speakers, even though it took like only 10 measurements in total.
It was honestly so good, that I firmly believe now that unless you're a therapist or doing a job that only a human can do, a robot will replace your job eventually.
I feel like among the things that are talked about in this forum, these sort of solutions (that arguably has the most impact) are rarely talked about or recommended, and it's mostly about buying the 'best gear' or having the 'prettiest toy' with very little evidence (excluding speakers and headphones) on how audible that investment will be.
So feel free to share your experiences with Dirac and this thread, perhaps we can inspire other people to invest in it.
