RE: DPM is Great! - Redwingnine - 11-May-2023 Could a dual mono setup perhaps be what was behind DPM? The second unit is always on, so it gets warm all the time, from what I remember from owning a D400/D500. Maybe there is enough power reserve with mono vs stereo? RE: DPM is Great! - Delija - 11-May-2023 It's not warm if you use the trigger cable.

The second unit is always on, so it gets warm all the time, from what I remember from owning a D400/D500. Maybe there is enough power reserve with mono vs stereo? I am using a dual-mono setup and it still sounds better (more at ease and smoother) with DPM off. The difference is more noticeable in things like movies and dramatic orchestral music. In my dual-mono setup, I do not use the trigger cable and the 2nd unit is slightly warmer in standby, but not excessively so. RE: DPM is Great! - Redwingnine - 11-May-2023 Interesting. So, if the trigger cable is connected between the two, the slave is not on? Anybody run with the units stacked, one on top of the other? RE: DPM is Great! - Delija - 11-May-2023 It's on, but in SBY, just as the master. Don't stack them. They will overheat. Especially with DPM off and SAM on.

Listening levels range from moderate / medium earlier in the evening to quiet later at night. When I first read this, thought that DPM ON wouldn't actually sound better. In the past, when I had Expert 400, DPM OFF was always better, IMHO. However, I have to re-evaluate after some extended listening with the Expert Pro 1000. With DPM OFF, the sound would get to be rather hard sounding when the volume was set to a moderate level during transients. The sound was clear, more so than when a single 250 was used, but still a bit hard sounding. This is most noticeable with non classical recordings, not so much with symphonies. Remembering this thread, along with another thread where there was a post stating they preferred the 440 Pro over 1000 Pro, decided to try DPM ON with the 1000 Pro. To my surprise, the hard sound when transients occurred mostly disappeared. The playback sounded excellent. The increased clarity with loud transients was still there, but without the transients having the hard edge on sound when DPM was ON. Further investigation uncovered the fact that this was recording dependent. The increased power is a bit of two edged sword, in that whilst some recordings surely benefit from the increased power available, others just expose the fact that the recording wasn't very good to start with. Try both settings, and use whatever works best for your system. |
