Since you also own a Fathom, I am curios if you are using the ARO/DARO together with the AM, or not at all?
Regarding the low sampling rate via Toslink, I read a recent article on the German Distributors Web Site, which claims the newest version can handle 192/24. Since they will be in Munich for the High End, I plan on visting their booth to verify if the info is accurate.
Hi Baconbrain,
Sorry I seem to have forgotten to reply to your message and question. I completely understand regarding the room treatment challenges. A lot is possible even quite invisible but it's not an easy subject and the more WAF friendly the more expensive as well.
My Fathom F112 sub is the original version so not the v2 released some time back. It only has the one band EQ ARO which i don't use (it's always on 'defeat') since it's so limited. The new DARO in the v2 Fathoms has 18 band digital EQ so that's quite a bit more advanced, who knows one might not even need a 3rd party DSP like the Anti-Modes with it.
The new DSpeaker X-4, as I believe it's going to be called, looks like a serious one. But it's a full 2.2 preamp/processor and DAC and I've seen prices of €3000-3500 so for us with our Devialets it might be a bit 'overkill', it is at least for me. I think they'd like to compete more with the products of DEQX, Trinnov, Lyngdorf etc.
