TOPIC:

Hi there, I recently got the DDRC-24 and love what it's doing for my sound in my very asymmetrical room. I'm using it as a DAC with USB from my PC. I have noticed that if I switch from USB to analog, and then back to USB input, the sound stage totally collapses, and everything is crammed in the very middle of the stereo image. If I just either restart my computer, or power cycle the MiniDSP, the sound stage comes back to normal.

I did a search on this topic and came across this post , the poster was having the exact same issue that I am, and he mistakenly identifies it as a problem with the Emotiva. I can confirm that I'm experiencing the same thing with my PC. Could you please help look into this bug?

Thanks in advance.

Very odd indeed..
easiest would be to get all the files some your setup to be emailed to us: i.e. Dirac Live projects and DDRC-24 preset configuration files loaded in each slot. please start a tech support tix and email all this to our team (support.minidsp.com)

It's likely this bug www.minidsp.com/forum/dirac-series-suppo...erts-on-input-change

You can find an updated firmware at www.minidsp.com/userdownloads/dirac-series/ddrc-24-software

Thanks for the reply, however I already have the latest software and firmware, which is 1.5 and 1.6 respectively.

@devteam, I will send you the files and data this weekend.

Thanks.

@divertiti

How about emailing both your Dirac Live project + DDRC-24 files? We can have a look at them here. Sounds good?

PS: When you upgraded the latest DDRC-24 plugin, did you make sure to perform a complete Restore to default all? That's the way to upgrade the internal DSP code. If you didn't, you're most likely still running an old DSP binary.

A very similar effect happens if you mistakingly mess up your routing settings by activating for example Outputs 1 and 2 for Dirac 1 and 2 Channels at the same time on a 2.0 system. Everything gets crammed around the middle and the soundstage dies that way. But that does not explain why the effect stops when switching inputs, AFAIK.
