If you're not familiar with Dirac, it has a bit of a learning curve.

The calibration process often causes much confusion, not to mention all the misinformation!

This is probably thee best calibration process to follow ime.
He even covers some of the misinformation.

Thanks for the link, I'll be sure to check it out. Smilie
I've done some DIRAC calibration before on a 2-ch set up (Arcam integrated amp), but I do it so seldomly that I always have to go over the entire process to make sure I cover the bases.

It's a really nice piece of gear.
Note: username change is why the discontinuity

Funny you say that because 2 channel with ART has been a significant pleasant surprise!

Dirac.com doesnt support paypal pay later. So no stacking another 20%off. Unfortunate.

I have an rz-30 and two subs, speedwoofer 12s and 10s. Does anyone have any first hand experience whether DLBC is worth it? Seeing mixed reviews

If you mean because of ART, highly unlikely it would be worth it.

If you've been fine without DLBC, adding ART for another $300 isn't going to change that very much ime.

I have 5.2.2 setup. I had previously calibrated my Denon x4800h using MultEQ® XT32.

Jumped on this deal today for all 3 modules. Setup using 9 calibration points with umik-1. I like the overall results. I feel like I am hearing sounds that I didn't hear before. Not sure if it is placebo. DLBC does clean the bass without losing the punch when required. Tested with Top Gun Maverick.

NOTE 1: I had to raise the volume on the Denon to get a valid measurement. It also failed to get a good measurement on 7th point consistently. If that happens then save your project., close the application and re-launch Dirac Live application which seems to have a few bugs. After connecting to the amp you can load previously saved project and continue your measurements.

NOTE 2: If using umik-1 don't forget to load the calibration file for your mic from the manufacturer website. You should use the 90 degree calibration file and point the mic up to the ceiling.

I do(many times).
The reason for all the mixed reviews is because there are so many different factors people use to determine whether it's worth it or not.

In basic terms, if you're happy with what you have now, very likely it won't be worth it to you.

If you read what if offers and doesn't sound beneficial, then you don't need it ime.
