I am in the market for a decent streamer/dac, has anyone had any positive results with room correction software? Not sure if it's just a gimmick or something that should be a priority for setting up my new system.
Do I? If I do I never knew! My Yamaha sounds great but I've never used any room correction with it, if it even has any. My reason for asking is that I'm spending most of my budget on some Falcon Acoustic speakers and a Luxman integrated amp and I need a dac/streamer for about £2000. Should I wait and up the budget a little to get something with room correction software or not, is it a game changer?Seems an odd question from someone who owns an amp with room correction?
Second and third this. I have the Lyngdorf MP-50 and the correction is amazing, best I have ever heard.I’d go for the Lyngdorf every time.
The removal of room crud, especially bloated bass modes makes everything sound so much more clean and realistic.
There are two Lyngdorf dealers here who will give you a home demo no problem.
I’d also try it out before you spend on the Luxman. I very much doubt you’ll want it after hearing the Lyngdorf.

Whilst largely trying to achieve the same result, different room correction goes about it in different ways. With Lyngdorf you simply connect the mic to the amp, take a base measurement at the MLP & then move the mic around the room until the amp's inbuilt software decides it knows enough about your room to do it's stuff.do you think the lyngdorf would be comparable to the Linn Selekt with sound optimisation software?
No comparison. I am familiar with Linn as I use to have a number of there products so I am a fan.do you think the lyngdorf would be comparable to the Linn Selekt with sound optimisation software?
haven't got them yet but it will be the RAM STUDIO 30'S.what fa's did you get? the ls3/a bbc replica's?
Room is 5.5m x 4m, not sure if it isn't ideal, just wanted to make sure before I buy that RC software should be considered or if it was another snake oil product. Nothing product wise is set in stone I just want a dedicated hifi set up for streaming. (all my CD's are going to charity shop)what size room are you working with and why is the room not ideal?
Blimey, that is praise indeed!better yet, the 3400 which is a streamer/dac/amplifier is probably the best system under £10,000 imo.
I find room correction makes my speakers sound muffled in comparison of just letting them and the room do their own thing. As others say though, it does work if your room needs a boost.
I do use it for movies, as the sub needs a helping hand, but for music I tend to leave it well alone. Audyssey can ruin a decent vocalist by the way it muffles the sound and takes the liveliness out of the song.
Obv Audyssey is far from ideal for a stereo setup anyway and not recommended in the slightest by me. I've not used any of the others, though I may well invest in a minidsp in the coming months.
