I looked into this recently with an Anthem dealer. I think the answer is no. I am considering getting a DIRAC product instead for that reason.

ARC only works with Anthem and hardware made by their affiliated companies. I cannot be applied to any hardware that does not inherently support it. If your present amp and/or preamp does not already support/encompass a particular room/speaker correction system, it cannot run any of them. DiracLive is a good alternative but, again, it can run on Dirac-equipped hardware or on a computer-based music player. The latter can, of course, play through any preamp/amp. |
Anthem's stuff is for their processors and preamps/integrateds. Here's something much closer to what you are looking for: https://www.minidsp.com/products/streaming-hd-series https://www.minidsp.com/dirac-series/ddrc-22d |
I have 2 Anthem AVRs in my two HT systems, and I’ve been so impressed by the Room Correction that now I would like to try some RC for my two channel system. However I wish to keep my current DAC and amplification so I order the mini dsp /streamer yesterday.I am also going to add a REL sub to the system, even though my speakers (B&W 803D) are full range floor standers, because the biggest improvements in RC are bass management. I’ll try just adding the sub for a few weeks before adding the minidsp. |
