For anyone with any doubts, hopefully this review settles them. The sound quality is undoubtedly better and the detachable cable provides convenience while looking leagues better aesthetically with my color selection and craftsmanship CustomCans provided. I had chosen the detachable cable mod, upgraded cables, and dampening mod. I couldn’t be happier with the final product. They had an extremely quick turn around time and shipped it back using express. Once I had all my questions/reassurances answered I packaged and shipped my headphones to travel halfway across the world. They were very patient with answering all my questions and walking me through the entire process end to end.Īs you can imagine shipping from USA to UK is exorbitant and their modding prices while fair aren’t something I would take lightly which is why I had 21 questions. I worked very closely with James Crew and Jason Rhys-Thomas through the entire process from beginning to end. First off started with questions to ensure this was the proper mod/SKU for my Denon AH-D2000. If you have a problematic room then I would highly recommend Dirac, but if your room is more straightforward then Audyssey may be able to give good results on the Denon.This review is from a customer based on the USA.

As a result, I get a really full and rich sound that was not possible to achieve with the Denton 7200. My room has a problem around the crossover region, and only Dirac has been able to correct the problem to my satisfaction. They key difference for me has been the ability of Dirac vs XT32. I haven't felt the need to do this and am using the default Dirac curve for my system with great results. If you found the sound a little bright you can edit the target curve to tone down the high frequencies a little. The Denon is also 4 ohm rated and drove them without issue, so that's pretty impressive from the Denon at the price point.Īs a final note, Dirac is very flexible in what you can design to influence the resulting sound. They are a 4 ohm load and difficult to drive, which is why I had to look at the 850 instead of the 550. I certainly haven't considered the Arcam to sound harsh in comparison to the Denon, and I use MK 150 speakers that are sometimes called clinical in describing their sonic signature. If you have a problematic room then I would highly recommend Dirac, but if your room is more straightforward then Audyssey may be able to give good results on the Denon. Decisions decisions, swap out my existing kit and go Arcam or buy alternative AVR and New PJ- Optoma are bringing out the UHD60 / 65 that look interesting.Ĭlick to expand.They key difference for me has been the ability of Dirac vs XT32.

If I do go down the Arcam route I may update my projector to full 4K when the price has fallen and the technology becomes more mainstream in the projector market, there are more starting to appear now however.

There are a few niggles with the Arcam though, the remote is a bit of a pain to use, the set up menu is aged and the receiver is pretty feature light plus it costs a fair bit - I could get a new projector and Denon AVR-x4400H for the same sort of cost - hmm. The Arcam, considering its power output it certainly sounded dynamic, transient response and sound quality all excellent with my Kef Reference speakers, no issue in driving them, plenty powerful enough.

Having tried an 850 now in my home theatre system and compared to the likes of a Denon 4300 with my Bryston power amp, I'm seriously considering the Arcam as a replacement to my current, aged AVC-A1HD.
