Hi,
if you refer to the new Arcam series they highlight features that are NOT offered by a lot of other manufacturers...
Such as?

Such as dedicated channels for Dirac Bass Management and its implementation so that the interaction between sub/s and main speakers (their summation at the crossover region of frequencies) is phase/magnitude optimized and the interaction between subs is optimized as well when more than one is presentSuch as?

Lucky you said that - I was looking at those the other day. Just as well I asked!I wish Dirac was available on Chromebooks as well
Anyone have good recommendations for the cheapest option of a laptop with the spec required to set up Dirac on an Arcam 550?
I can't install anything non-work related on my work laptop or my wife's work laptop, so this is needed purely to run and set up Dirac - hence why wanting to limit the cost to what is needed rather than getting carried away and paying extra for unnecessary bells and whistles.
Black Friday / Cyber Monday seems a good time to grab something
Thanks
Ps - I will be ordering the Umik-1 mic to set it up.
A desktop could work too. You have no personal computers in the house?Anyone have good recommendations for the cheapest option of a laptop with the spec required to set up Dirac on an Arcam 550?

Nope!
One of these would do.Anyone have good recommendations for the cheapest option of a laptop with the spec required to set up Dirac on an Arcam 550?
Hello guys, I recently purchased an AVR550 and while waiting for the delivery of the speaker I would like to get ready to properly utilize Dirac Live setup. So here a couple of questions:
1) Do I need to utilize the Dirac version available on the Arcam's website "Dirac v1.2.31 (PC) (Legacy projects)" or the one on the Dirac's website "DiracLive v2.3.0"?
2) I'm planning to utilize the system in 7.1 mode for movies and 2.1 for music. Do I need to I need to make 2 separate calibrations or one is enough?
Thanks in advance for your support.

1) v2.3.0
2) One should be enough.
the latest version 2.3 works
you can only have one calibration on the FMJ's
Guys, thank you very much for the quick and helpful response. I've now only one question, how do I switch on the AVR from 7.1 to 2.1 and viceversa while watching movies and listening music?Hi.
1. Use the version from Dirac's website.
2. Only one dirac calibration slot available on the 550.

Uhm, I see a problem for me then... With my system I play both music and movies through a single media player, Nvidia Shield, therefore wired with the AVR only via HDMI and played through the same application, Plex.The way I use mine is to have the HDMI output from my Blu Ray player connected to the BD input on the Arcam with the setting "As Spkr Types". That then plays all my movies (and surround music) in the appropriate surround sound mode. I then connect the analogue outputs of my Blu Ray player to the analogue inputs of the CD input on the Arcam. I use a setting of "Sub + Sat" or Left/Right (full range speakers with no sub) and play my stereo CDs and SACDs via that input.

Ah, I knew this for movies but I thought that mp3/flac were not "mapped" 2.0/2.1. Thanks!Not necessarily. If you set your only input to the AVR to "As Spkr types", it will play whatever mode your media player sends, e.g. 7.1/5.1 surround or 2.1 Stereo.
