Last minute Summer Devialet Event at OAC with Mathieu Pernot! 12 July 2018

Shame about room Correction - nothing we didn’t expect but I think convolution is a well enough understood technique now it wouldn’t be too hard for a decent audio/maths programmer to implement. Still, I’ll probsbly take them up on a custom EQ.

Agreed.  I did ask specifically about convolution with Home Audio Fidelity's service in mind, but if I understood Matthieu's answer correctly that wasn't something they are able to support.  I do think it's an opportunity missed; in some ways having the facility to run a user-provided convolution would (you'd think) be less effort than messing about with custom PEQ, at least once the mechanism/framework was in place.

How did the setups sound?

I didn't sit down and listen very carefully, to be honest, but while the Od'A/Sasha system definitely sounded more impressive, I found the 210/A3 system more enjoyable - it sounded very clean and balanced.  Also different rooms and music, of course, so nothing to take very seriously.
