Interesting recent interview with Mathias Johansson, CEO of Dirac:

Dirac Live
I was a bit surprised by their recommendations for 'computer performance' I would have thought that higher performance would be required for real-time DSP and 24/192 source files? I haven't seen any reference to the use of multiple cores.
• Windows Vista, 7, 8
• Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - 10.9 Mavericks
• Intel Pentium III or later, AMD Athlon XP or later (SSE required)
• 2 GB RAM or more
Dirac offer trial versions of their software for Mac or PC. Maybe I will try it if I have time over Christmas. EDIT - I see from Thumb5s posts above that it will work with AIR which is a surprise to me
Looking at the changes in room response that Thumb5 measured I was a bit disappointed to be honest as there are still plenty of potential 'issues' (From the Audioholics article I can understand why this is the case). I understand that you can set up Dirac to work for only part of the frequency range - perhaps using it only below 200 Hz might be a sensible thing to try.
