miniDSP has a lot of great little "swiss army knife" type products to help fix elements in current systems. However, it's likely going to degrade some sound quality unless you buy a linear power supply for the miniDSP unit. The switching wal-wart power supplies just aren't good enough. That being said, it's much better to buy a really good NAD or Arcam that has the room correction included. That way, you're not sending the audio through another device that will need to do an analog-to-digital conversion, process, and then a digital-to-analog conversion.
miniDSP with separates or Arcam SA30 or NAD C658 plus beefy power amp?
I'm new to this and would like to incrementally start a separates system initially on top of my Yamaha A2080 AVR with combined music movies system.
My goal is to enter hi-fi territory for 2 channel music and get Dirac into my system.
miniDSP opens up lots of component options but is it too much trouble when I can just get something like the C658 or Arcam SA30 when it comes out this fall?
Right now my system is KEF R3 L/R, Dual Rythmik F12SE's, and a Yamaha A2080 AVR. Running Tidal Hi-Fi and occasionally some hi-res FLAC from a USB stick.
Thx :-)
