Maybe I'm not in the right forum for this, but I'll try anyway! I've spent the last several weeks experimenting with the Inguz & DRC for room correction. (Many thanks to member "Merlinwerks" for his guidance, and endless patience!!) Nonetheless, I was completely unsatisfied with the results obtained with version 3.1 of DRC (a noticeable recessed, dry & hollow sound).
Using DRC 2.6.2 gave a much better result, and I really felt as though the bass & mid-bass regions were better defined, etc. I spent quite a lot of time positioning my speakers/subs for a decent, albeit not perfect response in my room. And yes, there are a number of sound treatment panels dispersed about the room as well to help with first reflection points, etc. A problem arises with signal clipping which has required me to reduce the gain in the Inguz config file to -21 or -22 to avoid clipping. Fine for THOSE specific CDs, but most others then playback at astonishingly low levels. That's not really satisfactory either. Further, the Inguz/DRC does not work with WMA lossless files, nor is it of any use when streaming audio from Rhapsody during casual listening. I guess my question is: Is there a way through this? Or....is a hardware solution perhaps a better idea? The Behringer DEQ2496 inserted in my Transporter's digital effects loop would seemingly perform many of the same functions, AND work with whichever source I choose....not just that music which is stored on my computer in .WAV or FLAC format. I can't write the check for a Lyngdorf, or any other $5K+ solution, nor would I want to when all I want is a bit of targeted adjustment in the bass & mid-bass range. A <$300 Behringer seems like a reasonable alternative, and perhaps even more so when used strictly in the digital domain. What say you? I would appreciate any guidance the folks here might have to offer. If I can do it all with Inguz/DRC....that's great. If not, I'm open to alternatives. Many thanks in advance for your insights...
