Just curious what this contraption does. I used to have this on and the stereo-to-binaural dsp set on low and thought it always sounded awesome. Then, I just completely turned off all dsps and run it in ASIO mode.
This feels like the highest quality setting for my system, as crossfeed smears the image a little but and my HD650s tighten up a bit more with it off. They sound like big speakers on your head anyways so I guess I dont even need it, I havent noticed any discomfort yet. Any input from you guys as what you guys use in your DSP tree?

It prevents clipping.

I am using nothing most of the times. Sometimes EQ. However, I do try all kinds of DSPs just for fun.

 

[makasin]

Yeah I tried just about all the DSPs you can get and I guess I just like it pure.
Does everyone have thier advanced limiter on>

I just use ReplayGain and check the 'prevent clipping' box. I think this achieves the same goal (no clipping) without distorting the music.

I doubt you can even hear the limiter at work...it only works when it detects a clip coming up...other wise nothing. I use it.

 

[kamuela]

In the chain, is it better to have advanced limiter before or after resampling?

 

[Alleyman]

Normal practice is Resampler(if required)>Any other DSP>Advanced Limiter (this way it can detect the clipping introduced by the DSP if any)

 

[kamuela]

Ahh, thanks very much.

 

[Asmo]

I don't use any DSPs at all, I simply lower the DB to -2 to prevent any clipping.

I am a total purist however
