You absolutely can use the miniDSP toolset with REW. I have roon so I went with that as hardware to implement the DSP. I also bought Focus Fidelity as the tool with a UMIK mic. It was much easier than REW which can be a daunting software. It’s super powerful but can be overwhelming. It was $250 for the focus fidelity and only takes an hour or so to do. I used the defaults on the curve and it took out all big humps and dips in my bass. I only applied to 5khz. I am very very pleased with the results.
2 channel DSP?
I am doing some room treatments and have REW and a umik to measure my results. I've also been researching the Mini DSP SHD Studio which seems to be a good option to control the room through DSP/Dirac. The thought would be after I've gone as far as I can with room treatments I can run Dirac through this device and make things better? I can run the outputs of my streamer and CD transport into the SHD Studio and then send that digital signal into my DDC/DAC combo and off to the preamp/AMP. Has anyone had any experience with something like this? Please be patient, all this stuff is rather new to me but I am willing to learn. I just got into streaming 6 months ago and like the convenience. I am saving for a nice Aurender N200 in the future. I've watched a lot of youtube vids recommending that DSP will not degrade the signal path in the digital domain? Thanks!
