As an audio enthusiast. I’m a big fan of SACD’s, Turntable playing at times, OSD’s and backlit remotes. We also stream sources at times above 48khz using spatial audio. This unit is a flop in all those areas. The touchscreen haptics alone sum this unit up IMHO. The remote having separated the categories is a nice idea. Thanks for the review Jon. Enjoy the music powerfully, accurately, and of course loudly. 😊
Needs analogue bypass. If I'm using snappy source (tape etc) I'd want to keep it analogue. Or if my source DAC is better. Plus could do with two more channels want to stick with 9.3.4 plus two spare for extra height or maybe fourth sub
You must have been working around the clock. Nice work! There is so much to like about this product. Your work is so important to those of us who cannot directly compare these processors. I don’t know if it’s just my open floor plan type room or if I’m just missing something but my experience (2.1 only) this far that DIRAC does a good job of blending the speakers and sun but the overall sound is not as good as I get with REW/PEQ. I really like that you can save so many DIRAC calibrations. I can extend my TV out 30” so I’ve saved narrow and wide calibrations with the TV pulled out and pushed back. I use one just for balancing my left and right speakers to get the best center image I can if the levels are off when using PEQ but I can also use a shelf filter in the PEQ to balance them as well. The best DIRAC sound I’ve gotten so far was just performing one measurement in the sweet spot and skipping all the other measurements. It would be nice if you could save multiple PEQ calibrations in the future. It would be nice to A/B test multiple PEQ sets with different crossovers and room curves. If there is a way to do that I haven’t found it yet.
The lack of Osd for just basic things like input status, volume etc rules this one out for me. Maybe they will surprise with the HTP-2??
Can't wait to know you though on how it sounds, detail, clarity, bass. I love it so far and it's not even calibrated.
Would love to see you do a tutorial on the HTP One setup using the spatial audio toolkit disk I see there on your counter top
I just made my system with the Sony az5000es. Do you plan on making a review on these units? If so, when?
I ordered the Umik-2 from MiniDSP and I think the shipping was $15 and it took a week or maybe longer to get it. If I did it again I would have rather had it fast than the small amount I saved.
Jon, it sounds like you are saying that if you are using PEQ then you should still set the delays under the calibration tab and then use Dirac Bypass rather than Dirac Off. is that right?
I wonder if using the BEQ Designer would allow for direct export of the PEQ numbers to the HTP-1. Entering all those numbers manually takes so long and that’s the only way I know how to do it so far. It would be nice if there was an option in REW to do that like there is in DIRAC.
The Marantz 7706 only has 11.1 channels of processing.
