@jymc , do you have one that you use?
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
Just curious to hear everyone’s opinions on using an equalizer in a high end hi fi system. Was at work tonight and killing time and came across a Schitt Loki max $1500 Equalizer with some very good reviews. What are some of the pros / Benefits and cons in using one. Just curious. BTW. I’m talking about a top of the line. Hi end equalizer. Mostly to calm some high frequencies and some bad recordings.

@tlcocks The easiest system to use is Dirac Live. I know people who are using the MiniDSP SHD Studio and two high quality dacs with great success. It also streams and has a built in equalizer. I have personally set up two such systems and turned two rather pedestrian systems into exceptional performers given their price points. |
@mijostyn , which sounds best? Trinnov, Dirac, or the mini DSP? I have conversed with the Trinnov dealer and have access. Want the one that SOUNDS best. Price no object. Want good tone curves superimposed on all the microphone measurements based correction. This DSP preamp correction will, once tuned in, be compared directly against my best analog EQ. Best, Tim |
@tlcocks You can use an iPad with any of them. I did not go with the Trinnov because their bass management was not versatile enough. The DEQX is not ready for prime time yet, but it will be the best of the bunch eventually. MiniDSP uses Dirac Live and it is easy to use. I currently recommend people get a MiniDSP SHD Studio and two high quality DACs like the Benchmarks or the Bricasti M1 if you have the money. |
