Dear forum members,
Since I've moved my MiniDSP flex to the living room (where DIRAC was very needed) I'm rebuilding my dedicated listening room.
Gear that I currently use:
Source + DAC: Bluesound Node 2
Amplifiers: Ghent Audio nCore NC252MP (speakers) + Ghen Audio nCore NC500MP (subwoofer), all XLR input.
Speakers: KEF R3 + Custom Build Subwoofer (10" push/pull).
What would I like to do?
Replace the Bluesound Node 2 for a PC with DIRAC live (with option for 1 or 2 subwoofers).
Thuis, no DIRAC live stereo, but DIRAC live for 2.1/2.2 setup (ie like the NAD C658).
My question is:
1. Is there a DIRAC live 2.2 computer setup (https://www.dirac.com/online-store/dirac-live-room-correction-suite/ seems to offer much, but no multi-sub for PC except w/ bass control).
2. What would I need to do this: computer + DAC (what kind of DAC?).
3. Is this relatively easy to do or would you recommend buying a NAD C658 or some other kind of streamer.
I'm a fan of the C658 (used to own it, sold it to a relative) but I don't like the issues with the low voltage sub output of the C658.
4. Any suggestions for an alternative? I already have Bluesound Node 2, so another miniDSP flex could be an option.
Best regards,
Geert
