I'd prefer to avoid a third "Mojo" (because I own already two first version Mojo's). I'm checking it.

I absolutely have no issues with the USB of the Mojo, do you eventually advice to try this device in order to improve further the sound of the dac? It's without an optical input so it's not an option for me. What you'd try with this same technology? I don't need a very "small" device, also. Too pricey, I just downgraded from a Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 and I want to my next hi-fi components more "cheap". You are absolutely right, until now I used the "LINE LEVEL" output ignoring the voltage factor. So first thing I'll do will be to set the Mojo balls to "red" and see if something better happen. About the PRE-OUT, even if it will result in a better sounding, I cannot use at all, because, ok, with Roon I can adjust the volume with its DPS but for TV (optical) I cannot.

Hello everyone, I'm actually own this setup: Raspberry > Chord Mojo > Audiolab 8300A > Acoustic Energy AE500 I wonder if can be useful to try (with free return warranties) one of these new dacs around just like the Topping D90, the SMSL DO200 mk2 or even a Gustard. What I am trying to achieve is a better warmth on the midrange and a more tight mid-bass. Or could be just a waste of time? Just curious to listen your experiences and opinions.

Thank you very much for the answer. I actually have RoomPerfect and had Dirac in the past, but with different hardware. Never had Acourate.

Did you ever directly compare Dirac Live, Acourate and RoomPerfect? What sounded best and why?

Sure, because everytime you "measure" with Dirac Live it will do without any dsp or correction enabled. Sure. But, to be less precise, with any good/normal speaker you should measure the main issues of the room. In fact, more or less, what I measure with different speakers is similar in drop and peaks. I am saying, leaving the same sweet spot, same speakers positions, same furnitures, etc.

I don't understand. When I measure the "natural room response" in Dirac, Dirac will always turn off any previous correction because for it, it's the first time that it measure the room. Why you think that Dirac measure the room with a correction enabled?

There where any DSP applied, that was the natural response of the room that Dirac measure to make its correction after. As I said before, I took the Elac on the left (with less bass) and switch phisically to the Elac on the right (that has better bass) and re-measure: now the measure is better, there is more bass in the previous Elac on the left. Switching again (phisically) and I obtain the same result of the first time: Elac on the left has very less bass. The switch again (always phisically) and again the bass response is better. I assume the Elacs, that are consecutive serial number, are different in response of the bass from each other. Maybe it could be a burn-in issue, but I won't now, I give them back for now, maybe in the future I will buy another couple and I am very curious to test again.

Yes, I even took a photograph to see exactly the position of the Diva and then put there exactly the Elac and their stands. Even respected the same toe-in. Thank you for the advices.

Hi, I'm using Dirac Live 3 on my miniDSP DDRC-24 DAC. After many trials, I found out that what works better for my room is a partial correction of Dirac until 250hz. What is above remains without the caring of Dirac Live. But I am doubts about the default target line. I assume that Dirac will design the default target line based on a full-range correction not for a partial correction (in my case only 40-250hz). Could you advice me how I should make a correct target line, for my particular case?

I even did't think about the electronic issue because my older speakers on Plot 1 measured always very alligned, it's a great idea to switch the cables next time I have something weird like this. After "switching" phisically the speakers on Plot 2 they measured more similar but not similar as in the Plot 1. Now I am back to the speakers on the Plot 1, to understand what I like more, don't know If I will give another chance to the speakers of the Plot 2. BTW, the Plot 1 is Indiana Line Diva 660 (maybe not famous in your country) and the Plot 2 is the new Elac DBR62.

It's weird. I switch the speakers on "2", leaving exactly the same position and toe-in, and now the channels imbalance is very reduced. Then I switch again and then channel imbalance come back. And again, again and again. Same results. Weird! They maybe need warm-in (they're new)?

Hi, I'm attaching two pictures that are two measurements that I took in my room, of two very different loudspeakers (same chain). According to you, which is the best? I don't mean who "goes down" or "raise high" better, I mean, what is the best, what to prefer according to you.
