Ive been a happy Inguz DRC user since that plugin was first released, but a few weeks ago I switched from Inguz (on slimserver) to the new BrutefirDRC plugin (on squeezecenter).
The main reason for switching was cpu efficiency. Inguz took 60% of the cpu, which is a problem when it is running on the main family desktop. If the kids started playing a game then both the music and their game would jump, and everyone complained. Brutefir runs in about 6% cpu, which is much nicer. In a quick listening test it didnt sound any different. Any why should it - its just convolution, right?.... Last night was my first opportunity for some serious listening. Normally the speakers live on wall brackets near the ceiling of the room, so for serious listening they are lifted onto stands. I have separate DRC filters for each configuration. I was surprised to find that it sounded distinctly different, although I dont have words to describe the difference. I guess my next step is to reinstall slimserver and Inguz in vmware for ABX testing and some measurements.
