    Anthem AVM90 AV Processor Review

    I would wish you could have the chance to test Arcam AVR21 more recent model. Shipping my own is too scarry for me unfortunatly. Are you not an Harman company so maybe one day?. Mine came back from repair under warranty (long story not interesting) but if someone her could explain to me this...

    Active Room Treatment (ART) by Dirac

    so @TimoJ maybe you can confirm what I said in an other forum. If Monoprice can do it in his existing product there is hope for us no HTP1 owner to get Dirac in our receiver which can manage DLBC already. You can't know if the dsp capabilities are the same but stil have a thought?

    Arcam AV40 AV Processor Review

    to be sure I understand , the noise floor you spoke about is my SPL measurement of the quiet room before running sweep with rew isn't it? I usually got around 45dB 49 dB before measurements.

    Arcam AV40 AV Processor Review

    I only found this review after I bought my AVR21. I was afraid that I had made a mistake because of the poor results of the AVR10 and AVR40 but, is it a mistake to associate these 2 models with the one I bought. In other words, would there be enough difference between AVR21 and those tested to...

    Is a seperate dac worth it?

    so you mean that objectively there is no difference between DAC? To answer your question, vol is set at 62 in the receiver and I swicth with remote between hdmi input and cd input in an instant, those 2 inputs coming from the CXU

    Is a seperate dac worth it?

    I have a Arcam AVR 21 and Cambridge CXU dvd/cd player (same as Oppo 205) and 5.1 system with B&W speakers and 2 SVS subs. When I listnen music, I prefer my cd and old stereo fashion 2.0 only no Dirac, no bass management. I read the Arcam AV40 and AVR10 review here. Although mine is AVR21 serie...

    Active Room Treatment (ART) by Dirac

    eH oui! @TimoJ If I remember correctly DL Art took the place or replace DLBC isn't it? ( we could have 4 options: Off, Upmix, Full and, ART) If so, 20% more processing from what Dirac does is not a problem; it means 20 % more than DL not than DLBC, no?

    Active Room Treatment (ART) by Dirac

    I am light years away from being an expert but I have been reading a lot for the last 10 years. I had a nanoAvr miniDSP a long time ago that had Dirac in hdmi between a blu-ray and the receiver and it turned out that the design was flawed with respect to audio science. The speakers should be...

    New MKII Rotel home theater products add Dirac Live room correction

    The delay problem I spoke of is not the sync delay between video and audio (if I understand you correctly). It is the much more serious and fundamental problem of distances settings between each speakers relative to MLP. You put the laser measured distances and the impulses of speakers are...

    New MKII Rotel home theater products add Dirac Live room correction

    RSP and RAP 1580 mkii are now discontinued models My recent experience with RAP was not good I return the unit because of faulty delays implementation. Delays settings or with Dirac filters on the unit put wrong delays and Rotel is supposed to work on a firmware update....
