Alright I got my third (and best) measurement in today. I haven't gotten a nice, long listening session in yet, but suffice it to say the difference is palpable. In a nutshell, I would say the imaging and sound-stage improved fairly significantly, and a sometimes sibilant high-end has been

CFP: check that you use the normal.drc from http://www.inguzaudio.com/RoomCorrection/normal.drc, not the one from the drc distro. Super-gonzo: you could try install the plugin and use its EQ settings; the CPU hit for that is slightly less than when running correction filters, but in the same

I quickly browsed the web page and was unclear about requirements. Does the plugin only run on a Slimserver running on Windows? Or, does the plugin run on a Linux Slimserver but the tools required to run the room correction utilities only run on Windows? Thanks. -CB -- ctbarker32
