They're practically giving that stuff away... ;);) A DEQ2496 will be here in a few days to play with, and I'll put it in my TPs effects loop via TOSlink. Sean has suggested in the past to avoid AES/EBU connection although I do have appropriate cables to allow that as well. Its worth a shot

Hey Curt, For about $500 you could try one of 'THESE' (http://www.krksys.com/ergo/intro.php) or for a measly $3000 more one of 'THESE...' (https://www.tactlab.com/tact_webshop/index.php?_a=viewProdproductId=29) Still under $5k :) -- Merlinwerks

Thanks Toby...I'll take a look at the DRC mailing list. As for the attentuation issue, it really seems to only manifest itself as a problem when DRC is active. As stated earlier, this then requires me to reduce the gain in the Inguz config files to -21 or -22 just to miminize (not eliminate)

Thanks Richard. I took a look at the Acourate website, and they do have a 30 day trial of a limited version of their system.The normal version still carries the $500 price tag from what I gather. Couldn't hurt the try the free one...if/when I can work up the courage to take on another piece

Just FYI, I believe the the Acourate room measurement pieces are now open source/free. His technology is pretty neat, I understand. I used the Inguz programs to make my correction filters, that work great. I did think I'd try out making some filters via Acourate, but I haven't started to figure

Audyssey offers several affordable products that will do DRC, but most of their products are targeted at the home theater market instead of the audiophile niche using Inguz. That being said, the subwoofer management device they produced for SVS is getting great reviews from some audiophiles.

Thank you for the inputs. I've read a bit about the Audyssey system, and it seems that it is only offered through professional installers. Given that I can't even get the repairman to fix the leak in my wash machine, it's only fair to say that I'm a bit gun shy regarding professionals. ;)

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

Thanks for the reply.No, I have not tried Proxied Streaming on my TS set up. In all honesty...I don't even know what that does. It'd be nice to at least have my Inguz working on streaming audio. That experiment will have to wait several days, as I'm on the opposite side of the
