Dirac without losing resolution
I am open to any dirac "endpoint" but have been directed to the SHD Studio. It looks like that is limited to 96kHz. Typical of miniDSP stuff. the rel 31 sub is currently connect via the amp speaker outputs per rel's recommendation.  It looks... 
Dirac without losing resolution
Name the miniDSP devices you are considering.  
Dirac without losing resolution
The answer already given is digital and the particular nature would depend on what is available on the specific miniDSP and the HiFi Rose devices chosen.  
Dirac without losing resolution
the issue is that I can’t seem to find a way to avoid limiting the resolution to 24/192 or even lower with most dirac endpoints. AFAIK, DL is limited to 24/192. So what? Yes, I lose the DSP benefits with those recordings but they still sound ... 
Stereophile spec measurement baffling(pun?)
An SPL meter doesn't sound like a bad thing to have in the house. REW is better.  
Stereophile spec measurement baffling(pun?)
The anechoic -6dB point is useful to know when considering what LF the speaker will offer in your room when the effect of room gain is added.  Sometimes, companies will offer low end response in a "typical" room but without stating the room dimens... 
An integrated bargain?
TAS Alan Taffel reviewed the Simaudio Moon 641 Integrated Amp in Stereophile: Did he, really?  
Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd.
Cat6 and LAN!  
Kef LS60 & Ethernet cables
Good room correction is essential for you regardless of your choice of loudspeakers.  You can decide about the subs afterwards.  
Kef LS60 & Ethernet cables
I am using LS60s with CAT6 (and S/PDIF) in and CAT6 between the pair and do believe that there is any reason to entertain "upgraded" or "audiophile" ethernet cables. In a large room with many reflective surfaces, the DSP in the LS60 will probably... 
Dolby Atmos
Yes, you do need a BluRay player for a BluRay disc. Generally, these have only HDMI output, so you will need a modern AVR or prepro and, if you want the Atmos tracks, it will have to be capable of decoding Atmos. OTOH, there may be other audio for...

False advertising
There are DACs that can do 512 but, you are right, there are often caveats. Clearly, you cannot load a Win/ASIO driver into the Auralic but Mac docs say "supports DSD64, DSD128 and DSD256" without any qualification. Sad. However, if you are using... 
question about Balanced signals.
Hmmm.  I've not come across that before.  
question about Balanced signals.
my question is regarding sources? what if they only have SE output to the preamp SE inputs?  will I at least get some benefit of balanced signal from the preamp?  Sure.  They will be carried balanced from preamp to power amp.
