  1. Audio Processing
    I have the MiniDSP DDRC-88A processor, and they just came out with a software upgrade for it that will enable me to eliminate my Xilica crossover. This is nice, but brings up some questions. A little background: I have a bi-amp setup for my front 3 channels which entails my signal going...

    my multichannel system involves a set of FIR filters, running in jriver, that deal with room correction, bass management and channel alignment (delays). I use REW's loopback timing reference to verify this is working correctly. I don't use a physical cable for this, instead use virtual loopback...

    I am considering the recent 'D' version of this well known upscale 'universal' player as a upgrade for my HT setup. But I have a few questions, for which users of the 105D might already have some answers: 1- Both the Oppo 105 and the 105D are using the same audio circuits, but the 105D have...
  4. Video Calibration
    I was curious about this and asked Oppo customer service if they figured I should set the Oppo to "Source Direct" and let the new Denon do the processing after all the Oppo is quite a few years old. Their Responce I was actually surprised.:blink:

    check this out. There is now a Darbee incorporated into an Oppo Blu Player - BDP-103D. Found the below video on youtube. The combined unit is $100 more and the D in the label is for the Darbee. Is this worth getting?

  7. Audio Processing
    Has anyone thought of or are they using their PC as a AV preamp? A friend of mine and I were just thinking of using our PCs as a real HT PC and use the sound card (internal or external) with JRiver MC18 software for the processor. Is this possible? Any drawbacks? If I went this route I would...

    And why? I use mine as a video switch only having one HDMI cable going to the display. All processing is done either by the BluRay player or by the display itsself (satellite receiver)

    I have htpc with soundblaster X-Fi xtreme audio and 5 active speakers. Soundblaster doesn't have eq, delay or bass management controls for individual channels and I don't have an AV amplifier to do audio processing. Is there any program, plugin or media player that can do audio processing?

    Since the Darblet popped up last week I figured I'd throw this one out there as well. I saw it in a sale email from Newegg. This unit is supposedly THX Approved and uses eeColor processing. Quite a bit cheaper than a Darblet at only $79. Here's the Newegg link. Manufacturer's website
  11. Pro Audio
    I would like to use the dcx for crossovers and filters for consumer/home use. I have a 7.2 sys. and don't know how far I can go with 1 unit. My subs I will use the deq and for the others (7 speakers) the dcx. Will I need more than 1 dcx? Is the mx882 recomended? For the low volume noise...
  12. Audio Processing
    Audio processing/EQ or lack there of, is there really such a thing So, been seeing a number of posts from members who think that audio processing and the result of adding EQ or other processors to the chain takes away from the sound. My personal opinion is that as soon as the instruments and...
  13. Audio Processing
    I can't seem to find any definitive answers. When a DVD/Blu-ray is THX certified, does the sound engineer mix the audio to work better with the THX processing modes? Will using, for example, THX cinema more accurately represent the engineer's original intent. Any ideas?

    I'm a student and right now I`m working on a project about room acoustics and signal processing. I want to use REW as software for measurements. First thing I have to do is to proove that REW is a LTI-system. For the properties of a LTI-system I`ve checked for homogeneity which is no problem and...

    Since the multimedia forum was removed at HTS I guess this is the next best place for this topic. I recently purchased a JVC Everio GZ-HM320B 8G and SD/SDHC card slot High-Def camcorder since my old Sony Digital8 camcorder has started to show it's age. The main reason for getting the new solid...
  16. Video Calibration
    Everything in the video chain upscales the video whether it is a $49 DVD player, an AVR, or a stand alone video processor. What's up with that ?? I know would rather have my TV upscale the video instead of a cheap DVD player and I think I want it to upscale the signal period. So I have been...

    Instead of messing around with my wife's 2 year old Toshiba Laptop which is running Vista SP2, I am thinking of using an "old" laptop that I inherited from my nephew . It is not very fast and has only 512RAM running Win XP Pro. Will this be sufficient for running REW ? TKs
