Hello,
I have a very annoying room mode @ 38Hz which I can’t solve thru placement changes in my small 14sqm room (3,15m x 4,49m).
I have tried a RME ADI-2 DAC with an integrated EQ.
I didn’t liked the sound from the Dac and prefered my Sugden Dac-4 by far.
The RME sounded artificial, grey steril anf flat. So I sent it back.
Then I tried Dirac-live-studio. It eliminated the room modes but also the dynamic is reduced. The bass sound is okay and I don’t hear a negative effect on the timbre but the midrange and the high frequencies are slightly coarse and less refined. For me a step to the side not forward.
I would really like too keep my Harbeth C7 so I’m still looking for a solution.
I know mini-dsp, sonaworks (measuring didn’t worked out), Lyngdorf, Anti-mode dual core, Audiovero accourate but didn‘t tried any of them for a longer time, but none of them satisfied me on the long run.
I would be very happy for other recommendations.
My prefered solution would be a digital solution which stays digital and then is converter by my dac.
I would consider a Helmholtzresonator but AFAIK there is no guarantee that it will workout.
There are active bass traps like Bag End or from PSI audio AVAA but they are very expansive.
Thank you for your advices.
