Any advice would be appreciated. Srima It all depends on your budget, I have a D400 and am thinking about upgrading to a D800 if I can work the funds out.

What I was going to try is insert my Tact 2.2XP room correction preamp just before the Devialet. The Tact has a large set of controls for correction of speaker response. First, you measure the speaker in your room. Then, you fit its response to a target curve, chosen from a large pre-supplied set, or simply make one up by hand editing the curves. Then the Tact loads up a digital filter that makes the speaker fit the response you desire (which is usually to remove the bass humps and gently slope the top end down to minimize brightness). In addition, the Tact has exhaustive tone and parametric filter controls. I would connect the Tact to the Devialet using the AES-EBU connection (or one of the other digital connections). RE: Details of Devialet tone control system etc. - Les Anderson - 09-Aug-2016 Sounds good to me. I would mind not to attenaute the digital signal with the TacT and control volume via the Devialet. I also believe I have read somewhere that if you send the corrections needed to Devialet, they will build you a correction curve that you can load onto your Devialet. This may allow for you to remove the TacT from the signal chain after your room has been measured.

Boy, that would be cool to load up correction curves for my various speakers, and not require using the Tact.

Longer term Dev owners will surely chip in on this, but basically Devialet used to offer this service but doesn't anymore. Probably because it diatracted their engineers from AIR solving chores...

RE: Details of Devialet tone control system etc. - DelaneyB - 12-Aug-2016 Quick note on AIR - since v3 beta this has been working flawlessly for me via wired ethernet. I had huge problems previously. Its by far the best sounding input compared with Toslink, USB and AES/EBU in my set up.

Also, which is more sensible - giving customers a simple way to apply an EQ curve and attenuation themselves, or get them to send details to an engineer in Paris to do it and send it back to you!? It's a shame they don't do it anymore, but realistically it's probably like a couple of days work to get EQ code into something like a Devialet (since it's based on it), maybe a couple of months max to test and add user interface, checks for clipping etc. I just can't fathom why it's not there.... the machine's built for it!

They've gone to the trouble of adding EQ, but with the most basic controls in the world, and never followed up with improvements. I guess they just got lost in a PR world of SAM so ignore proper EQ now. SAM makes a difference but to the average persons home I'd guess EQ would be much more beneficial - I know which I'd prefer! |
