Copland DRC205 digital room correction

Hi, has anybody known or used this new "equalizer"?
It seems a really good product, useful and extremely simple to understand, designed build around a Lyngdorf/Dynaton logic process.I've not found many informations about it, could you tell me how does it work really? Is 205 at the level of TACT or is it sloser to a Behringer DEQ2496???
I would like to try it in my listening room (a square plant room...) but in Italy it is very difficult to find and testing.
Thanks in advance for your support, sorry for my english but I've studied another language at school (and now I have to pay private lessons :-((( , I prefer buying CDs)

I got my DRC-205 hooked up and on the "A1" setting I did the room calibration. My question is, what would the bypass selection be? I am wanting to know what it would sound like if I toggle between the corrected and the non-corrected. I've looked through the manual but there doesn't seem to be an explanation.

Thanks

so, you DRC owners what setting does your ears like best? A1, A2, A3, A4 (hope not), P1 or P2?

I like A1 & A2 currently....

Wazmoh,

Thanks for all the great reading and results. I found after listening to the factory curves that A1 was the best for me. I played around with the "custom" curves but found in my room I was VERY limited in terms of moving the speakers to correct one problem. In turn, I would create a worse problem which was audible. I went back to my standard A1 and love this thing. Every once in a while I listen to A4 (uncorrected) and wonder how I used to like that sound.

Downunder,

I know it's different but I use a Behringer Ultraddrive 2496 in my system before the DRC-205. I use this as my crossover between my electrostats and subwoofer. It works perfect for that. I am going to try the Ashly 3.24 next. It has MUCH better quality parts in it.
