I can not live without "Room Correction"

Accuphase DG-28

I had been using Accuphase Digital Equalizer since 2001.

It is still working fine.

With room correction, the overall balance is much better with tighter base and flat high frequency.


I can not live without it.

Recently Lyngdorf got very popular with good room correction capability.

But I am a tube guy enjoying good timber out of it.

I will not go for Lyngdorf as amplifier.



But I recommend other people to try room correction.

If you are curious, you can try used DG-28 from Japan at 1,700

Cheap analog equalizer degrade the treble sound but not good digital equalizer.

With my Accuphase digital equalizer, I can get more airy sound with flat extension without degrading the quality.

That is the reason that I had been using it 18 years, the longest period in my 40 years of audio history.

There could be many other options of digital equalizers but I trust my Accuphase.

I feed the digital signal to Accuphase Digital Equalizer and then to EMM Dac2.

Without AD conversion, the loss is minimized.

As I am happy with my set-up I will use Accuphase until it stops working.

The interface of Acccuphase is very convenient showing the results before and after correction.

Acoustic treatment help but Room Correction Equalization make a more of difference!

I understand that why  Lyngdorf got popular.

But I am happy with Accuphase with good interface  showing the results before and after correction.

I got  GAIA isolators today and it changed the tone of my system drastically with tightening bass , more transparent soundstage, better focus and details.

Room correction is one way to control tone of your system.

But other methods also can help.
