Anything new with digital room correction?


Last time I tried DRC I was not too happy with it.
It was TacT Audio RCS 2.0, although it did the job and took care of LF problems, it robbed music of transients, dynamics and details were seriously affected.
Is there DRC that would allow you to specify range in which it works, for example deal with 400Hz down, and do not touch I any way anything above 400Hz?

My Lyngdorf DPA-1 sure does the trick without changing the music (I've done exaustive listening testing around this using my prior preamp Ayre K-1xe). I'm not sure if you can only correct a certain frequency, but maybe you don't need to?
Because most people spend most of their time listening to CDs or other digital formats. If digitally recorded music is kept in the digital realm there is less information lost, and a much higher end product.

Your post makes it sound like Sashav and others would need new equipment which is totally false. Almost every high end CD player allows the D/A conversion to be bypassed so no one has to buy new equipment to use the Lyngdorf room correction equipment. This is no more complicated than using a digital out from your CD player which is usually toslink or digital RCA and occassionally XLR.

I was assuming Sashav has a preamp with phono or if not, and he needs it, he could add a separate phono stage. Your last post says most CD players don't have a digital in but I think you meant out which I don't agree with. Most high end one box CD players do have a digital out, and a high end transport would work even better. While it's true the D/A conversion has to happen somewhere but in the case of the Lyngdorf room perfect system the unit has an excellent D/A in it.

Thanks for clarifying though (and responding to my post!) as I felt your first post suggested Sashav would need new equipment and should abandon digital correction which may not the case. In the end I strongly suggest keeping an analog or digital source as far as possible. Thanks for clarifying. I think we're both making useful suggestions so Sashav can make the best improvements he can. :)

Understood and I agree wholeheartedly. However in the case of the Lyngdorf the D/A in the room perfect or preamp (they are the same) is excellent.
