PC , full Dirac and a Cross Spectrum (calibrated) UMIK-1 , results are much better then the Emo mic. Stage is better bit I still have a lot to do , with Tony's help that will happen. Two channel sounded as if all speakers were in use, incredible!! Now I'm getting somewhere,,,,,,I think.

Finally, got my Mac dirac to work with good results ,crashed only once but i saved the data just before and restarted the software and finished it, I didn't have much listening Time with it but seems quite better even thru with my all around paradigm speakers, dirac didn't need too much correction... Stay tune for more info.... Mel

Yes i saw you were using another calibrated mike for your measurements. Tomorrow i'll have to check my subwoofer crossover which dirac cut off was set at about 80 Hz, kind of low i think.. How about you Guys and gals ? Mel

Yep, my subs were almost gone, the other mic with the narrow 90* file was much better, improved the bass but my digital is a little flat. I need to adjust a few thing as well as read more and learnable!!! Half the fun of this hobby for me is learning and the rest is listening,,,,,,LL

I look forward to playing more w/DIRAC and REW, but it sounds so good right now - I hate to change it! At least for now, I have 2 busy weekends coming up, then a break for a bit. So, I won't be tempted to play much until a couple weeks. I will just spend time enjoying. I am SO glad I got DIRAC full and the UMIK, though. I never tried Emo's mic or regular DIRAC and I don't plan to. If I were Emotiva and were selling a lower price version, the first thing I would do would be to not include any mic at all and no auto RCS at all (but make available REW integration like the XMC-1). People who really care will want a mic that's individually calibrated, and those who don't care are more likely than not to never run any RCS. So, I'd say get your own and use if you want.

Mark Yes Mark, I never even looked at Dirac LE but I did try the mic, sorry Emotiva but the UMIK with the narrow band 90* calibration file has given me a better sound then the included mic. This isn't exactly fair though,,,,,,I used the Emo mic for several sweeps and it didn't give me the results that the CS mic did. It may have been me or just did something differently,,,,,,or,,,,,,,it could just be a better way to go. Ill do some more listening and reading and see what I can do.

And on another note,,,,,,,,, Called and spoke with tech support at Emo today concerning analog playback of my TT,,,,,,,,,,,, Stereo playback would be untouched for my Studio 100's,,,,,unfortunately bass management is a different story, it's digital.
This is how I understood the tech. If I've misunderstood and messed this all up,,,,,,,someone please straighten me out.
Thank you, 8)

If you want sub, any analog goes back to digital for bass MGMT. Mark

One other problem, this is a PROBLEM. Ibe played three BLURAYS on my Oppo 103 since connecting my XMC-1 ,,, all three times the movie stops playing five minutes in for about 30 second and then skips ahead some frames and then continues to play the movie flawlessly. What's up with that's..
