"hacking" SAM to do convolution

[deviousalet]

We can debate which is the best room correction, but even the room correction in a $300 AVR makes an amazing improvement for many people. I just set up a new AVR for a friend. My low expectations of his system were met until the simple calibration for the room (connect the included microphone and press go). Thereafter it sounds surprisingly good (for the money). At our level room correction needs to be more exacting, but our rooms are typically no better than average. Looking through the Systems pages here it is clear that most Devialet owners don't have dedicated audiophile listening rooms. Therefore even mediocre room correction might be very helpful. Having that option is no more dangerous or detrimental than having the option to use SAM, ICM, RAM, or the other DSP included in a Devialet. So I really hope that Devialet gets around to room correction.
