Vocals, solo and choir, have always been excellent with my speakers and continue to be stellar. What I've noticed is increased clarity of individual instruments and their location in the soundstage, width and depth.

In the end, I went with Mitch's recommendation for a flat and full range set of DSP filters. We also discussed boosting the bass frequencies. We discussed limiting DSP correction to lower frequencies. The filterset improves the full range of frequencies. I'm completely satisfied using the filterset. Since I'm retired, I had plenty of time to listen to music. I've used Mitch's 3rd (and final) filterset for several days now. I hope you found this information helpful. Most important, the program works! Now, with the filters in place, I feel the sound is at the best point possible. Audiolense XO setup was not terribly hard.

Speaker positioning and system setup plus a few GIK acoustic panels got me to a good place. Over time, I preferred the sound with the filterset engaged (including the converted DSD files).īottom line: I've struggled with room measurements for years. I created JRiver zones so I could switch, at the MLP, between playing music with and without using Mitch's filter set. The simulated result from Mitch was a ruler flat response. The next few sweep iterations were all similar and Mitch decided to employ a 30 Hz crossover on the front three speakers and a 90 Hz crossover on the two rear SVS bookshelf speakers. Whew, I was nervous I would have to move the speakers around. Running sweeps and adjusting the subwoofer volume in each speaker solved the issue. discovered the subwoofer volume in each of the front three speakers was different. See "speaker connections" screenshot which includes my speaker setup configuration. Check Speaker connections required changing channel outputs to make sure sound is coming out of the correct speaker. Measurement setup included selecting ExaSound 8 channel ASIO driver, switching to direct sound and selecting separate "play and recording" streams. I used the ExaSound trim dashboard and test tones from JRiver MC with master volume at 0. Personally, I made sure all speakers had the same volume at the MLP with a dB meter. SVS Bookshelf speakers are 4 Ohm, and 87 dB sensitive. Spatial X3s are "open baffle" 8 Ohm, 97 dB sensitive, and include a powered subwoofer. Bluejeans 12 gauge speaker wire out to 3 Spatial Audio X3 speakers (L, C, R) up front and two SVS Ultra bookshelf speakers (Right Rear and Left Rear) in the back of the room. XLR out (using a Y connector) to two SVS SB 13 Ultra subwoofers (rear of the room). USB out to ExaSound S88 (8 channel DAC). I also have a zone to bitstream DSD files natively with no DSP filters. My decision was to create a "zone" to let JRiver convert DSD to PCM and then apply filters. Note: JRiver will only apply filters to PCM and DXD files, not DSD. Setup with ExaSound proprietary ASIO driver. Dedicated music server (with 4TB of high resolution, multichannel, music files, mostly classical). We've gone through three filter iterations. I recently completed several sweeps and hired Mitch Barnett ( Accurate Sound) to construct the filters. I use Audiolense XO, Version 6.20, with a multichannel (5.1) music system.
