Hopefully there is a fellow Devialetaner who could give me a few tips and point me in the direction of the shallow end?
Any assistance would be appreciated!
I have previously used Audiolense (

ive paid and installed acourate onto my system. ive yet to try it but it includes its own asio driver so it would work with jriver.
when ive had some time to actually test it out ill let you know how it goes.

that could be an issue that i wont be able to help you with.
im a jplay user so i only need the one output.
why would you use the jriver convolver when programs like acourate handle that for you?

sure. i wont have a silent room to test the software until the weekend unfortunately but just from having a quick look around the audio in - out is quite simple.
Acourate has its own ASIO driver. so when i load bughead SQ for example and it lists the different asio outputs it gives me 2: Jplay and Acourate.
so bughead will send the audio to acourate which does the convolving. then in acourate it asks for the audio output and gives me a list of all the possible options (for me its only Jplay)
it would be exactly the same with J-river. you can select the asio output in the settings and the acourate asio will be there. if you dont use jplay i assume you have a single pc. it would likely give you 2 output options. Devialet air and Devialet USB.
Far as i can tell you wont be able to swap on the fly between usb and air if you use the jriver remote.. but how often do you actually change between them?

Seeing as how ive got a dual pc set up i cant exactly try different options and give my experience on how they work... ie with/without jplay. i dont really have it in me to pull apart 2 pcs and try out single pc setups with different programs
Bughead is completely free but has no remote software nor will it ever so it depends on how people use their system to what programs they can use!
as for measurements - i bought this.
a minidsp umik-1
http://cross-spectrum.com/measurement/ca..._umik.html
its a usb microphone and comes highly recommended no matter where you look. its also fairly cheap and for those of us with computer sources requires no extra items to get it to work it literally just plays through one of your usb ports.
i recommend this company to buy it from instead of the company who makes it because with the microphone they give you a full set of mic calibration files which you can then import into any correction software which is important.
the only thing you will need from there is a proper mic stand!
