I can not live without "Room Correction"

Accuphase DG-28

I had been using Accuphase Digital Equalizer since 2001.

It is still working fine.

With room correction, the overall balance is much better with tighter base and flat high frequency.


I can not live without it.

Recently Lyngdorf got very popular with good room correction capability.

But I am a tube guy enjoying good timber out of it.

I will not go for Lyngdorf as amplifier.



But I recommend other people to try room correction.

If you are curious, you can try used DG-28 from Japan at 1,700

Acoustic treatment help but Room Correction Equalization make a more of difference!

I understand that why  Lyngdorf got popular.

But I am happy with Accuphase with good interface  showing the results before and after correction.

To the question about cost-effective room correction options, I use a mac mini-based music player running Dirac to good effect.  This works well if all your sources are sourced over the network.  Otherwise, you can run Dirac on a relatively low-cost device from MiniDSP.  I haven't used them myself, so can't speak to the sound quality of this option, but they've been increasing their Dirac-based product line over the years, so I'm guessing people are liking them. 

I hadn't heard about Lyngdorf, but I'll have to read up on them now.

I can't live WITH a "digital nanny" as they strip the soul from music and hurl it on the floor like a broken dream. Otherwise, they're great.

I feed the digital signal to Accuphase Digital Equalizer and then to EMM Dac2.

Without AD conversion, the loss is minimized.

Room correction is a necessity in a small room unless you treat the hell out of the room, and even then it has benefits.
