And Dirac Live 3.0 software is officially out. It includes Dirac Bass Control and unofficial support for the latest MacOS releases. It seems like 2.0 was their beta for 3.0.

Thanks. But it says it adds support for Bass Control. Not that it includes Bass Control. "Official Dirac Live Bass Control support"

Will 3.0 work with the RMC/XMC-2 line of processors? Yes, Dirac now has a harmonised configuration software for all processors. We will be using whichever is the latest version when Dirac appears for the XMC-2 / RMC-1 I hope that that is not Dirac 4.0 We just need to see the Emo here now: "Supported Brands: ARCAM, AudioControl, JBL, JBL Synthesis, Lexicon, miniDSP, NAD, StormAudio, Focal, Bryston and Monoprice"

Looks like we skipped 2.0. Does that mean we get 3.0 with our promised Raspberry Pi box/Ethernet switch dingle-donglers? Dirac may have released 3.0 but I think when we get Dirac, we will be using version 2.0. Or if we use version 3.0, the bass control module will be disabled. I may be wrong but I don’t think Emotiva integrated with version 3.0.

"Official Dirac Live Bass Control support"However, in the Dirac live shop: Currently only on sale via the Dirac website for the Arcam processors and the Audio Control Concert XR-4 At least we know the price now: $349 single sub, $449 multi sub

One step at a time! - Although room correction is most effective for long wavelength audio and especially subwoofers, I am very interested to get vanilla Dirac 3.x for my XMC-2, having heard what it did for my XMC-1

I don’t really see any value in an ‘8K board’ right now, and I hope given all the work that needs to be done, that they’re not spending too much time on it (other than watching the industry and standards). There is no 8K material, so I see no reason for an HDMI board to try and pass an 8K signal. Just like most cable STBs now typically only go up to 2K/HD, the conventional wisdom is to set your cable box at its native resolution (mine is 1080i), then send that signal on through to the 4K/UHD TV where it’s upscaled. If you had an 8K TV now (which I just read 3% of us might), you could still hook it up to your XMC/RMC and all your existing sources (2K & 4K) would work, and your new 8K TV would upscale everything. Now there are some benefits of HDMI 2.1 other than 8K, like eARC, additional HDR features., and the gaming mentioned, so I hope that someday we do get a board that supports all that. But for now I think it’s best to just watch the 8K space evolve, along with HDMI 2.1, the required cables, etc. When there’s and affordable 100+” microLED 8K TV available, I’ll be more interested, maybe by then Emo can standardize on a refined 2.1b spec or something like that. So to answers your question, no one here knows when.

It’ll actually be a complete room correction software with the $450. Bass management should be part of room correction since that’s literally what the point of room correction is - tampering the bass as demonstrated by Dirac. But I’m willing to pay for it if and when it’s available since without it, the room correction would be incomplete.

But I’m willing to pay for it if and when it’s available since without it, the room correction would be incomplete. I believe that’s true, because Emotiva is giving us a ‘base’ Dirac Live license, so that for an additional $450 you’ll have Full Dirac Live 3.x plus the multi-sub Bass Control. When you consider what you’ve paid for the processor and your subs, $450 to get the best possible performance from them seems reasonable.

I have my xmc-2 set to start up on a certain input just as my xmc-1 did but its not. Its starting up on the last used. Im also using lowest power standby as i did on my xmc-1 but this shouldnt have any bearing on whether or not what input it starts up with. Is there something im not seeing? Before doing a factory reset or reinstall the firmware is there some deep dark setting im missing?

I’m pretty sure that problem has been reported and is being worked on, you’re not doing anything wrong ... well, at least with this setting 😉

When you consider what you’ve paid for the processor and your subs, $450 to get the best possible performance from them seems reasonable. It also emphasises that the cost of the vanilla Dirac Live license is built in to the Emotiva Processors making them great value. For those with a single subwoofer the decision is quite a tricky one and the case for an additional spend for Dirac Live Bass Control is more tricky! The Standard Dirac license included with my XMC-2 will provide compensation of the single sub/room interactions at the listening position. The Emotiva will handle the bass management with a crossover and this is going to be pretty good. I know this from the XMC-1. However, we know that with standard Dirac Live, multiple subwoofers can only be equalised en-masse as if they were a single sub and this is a compromise as it cannot fine tune the interactions between different subwoofers. $350 extra for just the compensation of a single sub / mains interaction around the crossover point is harder to justify than $450 for multi subwoofer interference compensation plus compensation for the subwoofers/mains around the crossover. Maybe I need to get a second subwoofer to make my decision easier! Reading the DLBC pdf that Megash0n posted last month does make me want it though.....!
