Hi guys,
I just bought a Yamaha RX-V675 connected to 5.1 Focal (700 or 800) speakers. Everything is just fine concerning digital stuff I have to do with like DTS/AC3 movies for example. DSPs are just fine and I'm happy with the sound for home cinema purposes.
But I'm also a DJ and for stereo / audiophile listening it become more complicated. I plugged the output of my mixer to the "Audio" input of the receiver, and I can't find the setting that fits my needs ! Here is the status :
1. In Pure direct mode :
+ The sound is very nice
+ There is no delay due to DSP processing
- Only the 2 front speakers works since it a stereo source*
2. In Straight mode :
+ Sound is not to bad
~ There is a small delay but I could live with it
- Only the 2 front speakers works since it a stereo source*
3. In any of the "Digital mode" with DSP :
~ Sound sucks, but I could deal with the 7Ch stereo mode even if not as cool as direct mode
- There is a huge delay which make it very hard / long to beatmatch precisely
+ All speakers works so i have a nice booth/monitor in my ears, but it's useless since it's delayed...
*No subwoofer (sucks) and no rear speakers (since I have them near the place where I mix I wanted to use them as booth/monitor speakers) which sucks even more than no sub.
I have analog gear all long (vinyls --> analog mixer --> analog / stereo output / cables --> Receiver --> Speakers) so I really don't want any DSP to interfere it, especially since this mixer (A&H Xone:92) have an incredible sound I don't want to "digitalize" just because of the receiver...
Is there any way to workaround that ? Maybe using zones (I'm only 5.1 not using 7.1 capabilities of the receiver) ?
I would be very happy with a stereo setup (not surdecoded / enhanced) but displayed on all speakers ! I can't understand why it would necessarly mean DSP !
Thanks for your help / advices !
