Is DEQX a game changer?

I think you may be misinterpreting a paraphrase of my published statements. If I may, I would edit your interpretation to say: "It seems to me that the user friendliness AND COST of the DIRAC was a major reason Stereophile seemed to RECOMMEND IT OVER the DEQX."

Dirac is cheaper and easier to use but not as capable as DEQX. If DEQX made a multichannel version, I'd use it.

^O.K., thanks for the clarification.

Kal, does the DIRAC handle 24/192 better?

?? DIRAC handles 24/192 just fine if your computer is up to the task.

Just finished an hour and a half fine tuning session with Larry, the DEQXPert. At his suggestion, I move my listening couch back a little and he re-tuned my system. Definitely better. He also gave me a setting option with a slight bass boost, which is kinda nice.

I'm still a DEQX believer. I'm two thumbs up for the DEQX.

No way I could have made the fine tuning adjustments by myself.

Cheers.
