| Deqx pre8 FYI: I have been experimenting with a couple of 384kHz/32-bit FLAC music files and I found that the Pre-8 plays these files with no problem when rendered directly from my NAS through Volumio. There should not be any down conversion going on since ... | |
| Building Resonance Free Subwoofers Great job, Mike! Your fine engineering, design, and workmanship inspires me to get out to my workshop start a new project. But after seeing your workshop, I think that I need to do more than just a few updates first to it to say the the least. ... | |
| Deqx pre8 Also, to follow up and add corrections to some of my previous posts. Working backwards, if your are not able to connect deqxy3.local while using a VPN there is a simple fix at least for Windows 10 boxes. I’m sure there is something similar in Li... | |
| Deqx pre8 I don’t think the software is there as of this latest release. You may want to submit this as a "Suggest a New Feature" request. So far I’ve only submitted two request but I’m sure that I'll be adding more soon. The following are the two reques... | |
| Deqx pre8 Has anyone been able to connect to deqxy3.local through a VPN? I haven’t had any luck. So far I had to kill my VPN service in order for the connection to be made and use the Pre-8. I thinking that AWS (the cloud provider) must not allow a VPN conn... | |
| Deqx pre8 The problem that I run into during the integration of a pair of stereo subwoofers using the Pre-8 is that all drivers’ relative sound levels, for both the main speakers and subs, are measured during the first step. Essentially, you place the measu... | |
| Deqx pre8 Actually that sounds like it may be a great idea for measuring the subs and I'm going to be thinking about doing just that, but unfortunately that's not going to work, at least in my case, for a pair of 81-inch high 300lb (each) speakers. Even a ... | |
| Deqx pre8 Here a tip to help minimize aggravation when measuring speakers. If it's going to take a bit of time to reposition blankets, wall coverings, sofa cushions, furniture, etc, between measuring your left and right speakers in step 1, consider LOGGI... | |
| Deqx pre8 After some offline discussions with mijostyn about the difficulties in taking accurate measurements of dipolar speakers such a the Soundlabs that he has and the Apogees that I have, as well as any other dipolar speaker for that matter, I found tha... | |
| Deqx pre8 Don’t give up too quickly. I know that it can be done. Yes, dipoles do radiate to the rear. Some less than others, but like you state, it is a major factor. The Pre-8 is my fourth DEQX since 2012 and I have great success not only with with this p... | |
| Deqx pre8 mijostyn, Im glad that you pointed that out to me. You got me thinking. Even though I used lots of very sound absorbent padding on the floor, walls, etc, and I’m sure that the cloud processing uses software algorithms to minimize first reflection ... | |
| Deqx pre8 Hi mijostyn, Alan replied back to an mail I sent may 30 on June 3. I figured that he must be swamped between further development and answering user questions. I questioned him because was perplexed at the final response curve that I was seeing. I ... | |
| Deqx pre8 Hi Ted, Like me, you must be on the second wave. Mine showed up a little less than a month ago and it been a tedious process. I have been told by someone on the first beta wave that we're fortunate to be on the second wave since some of signifi... | |
| 20 year old solid state technology..... . . . 20 years ago, semiconductors could not handle as much power as the ones made today; more were needed for a given power output. Today these devices can handle more power so, at least on paper, less devices for the same power rating should yi... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ketchup, that’s what Bruce was telling me when I let him know that I was running 18 psi. If you already have an ET-2 you may want to try upping the pressure before trying the 2.5. I don’t have a high pressure manifold and for that reason if I go m... |
