| Is DEQX a game changer? Bifwynne: ...He didn't touch the original time alignment adjustments...Bruce: Your previous post said you moved the couch so this will have changed the relative positions of speakers/subs and therefore alignment to some degree (we are talking mill... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Very glad Larry was able to improve things Bruce. With DEQX in circuit, even slight changes in positioning or speaker angles can have an impact, especially noticeable when you re-run a room measurement, adjust time alignment and listen to musicI n... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Roscoeiii: Very curious to hear more about others' use of the analog input into the DEQX. As a vinyl guy, I worry about losing some of that analog magic....I also prefer to listen to vinyl and can confirm that DEQX has only enhanced 'that analog ... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Lewinskih01 is partially correct if Almarg is only using a pair of full range speakers. There will be no opportunity to manually adjust time alignment but DEQX will still take care of thisThe processor will automatically phase & time align wha... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Unsound - yes programmes like Dirac can achieve a similar result but require a computer to be running the system whereas DEQX is an elegant 'hi-fi, one box' solution. Because everything can be automated via widgets, it is also quite logical & ... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Hi Bruce. If you mailed me your configuration file I could have a look at how it's been set up (its a .mzd file stored in the DEQX folder on your PC/Laptop). This would allow me to see all your measurements and how Larry set it up. If the file is ... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Good to read your comments Denis and you have reminded me of an important aspect that Almarg may want to considerA full range speaker such as the Ulysses that he describes will benefit from DEQX (automated) phase and time alignment, however the la... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Timlub, whilst you are correct and I have used DEQX in all the configurations you mention, even on a speaker containing a passive crossover, the sense of reality and coherence is very impressive. However Bi-amped with Subs or Tri-amped is at a who... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Yes Al, you can be confident that your Ulysses will sound so much better with the HDP-4. Unmodified Shahinian Obelisks were my first foray with DEQX and I was amazed at the improvement in clarity and realism it brought to themBi & tri-amping i... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Al, for the configuration you plan on using you won't need to worry about any manual time alignment as the 3 sets of outputs won't be feeding multiple power amps or subs (which is what they are really designed for). The only graphs you will need t... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Al, great to hear. I am confident that you will be equally impressed when you get the HDP4. If you need assistance with any part of the configuration or interpreting the graphs, I am more than happy to helpThere are some really useful features tha... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Responding to Roscoeiii - using the 4 DEQX presets as part of the setup process, this has been my experience over the past 2 1/2 years:1. With DEQX processing switched out of the system, I thought music sounded OK but imaging was rather flat and 2... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? I agree Bif, I thought my old Shahinian Obelisks were pretty good until I heard what DEQX did to them . I literally swore out loud in amazement the first time I played them afterwards | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? One of the reasons I jumped in with DEQX was because every review I could find was 'enthusiastic' (rather an understatement, read John Atkinsons previous comment here: http://www.stereophile.com/content/gob-smacked-deqx). Then I heard what it did ... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? I use a Graham Slee Majestic DAC from a Yamaha transport. This gives a very smooth, analogue like sound but not at all 'rolled off'. It replaced a Chord 64 where treble sounds more brittle by comparisonIt is the most realistic CD sound I have hear... |
