Popular Post BadBruno1 Posted April 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2020 I'd like to share my experiences in using Audiolense XO. https://juicehifi.com For a little context I'm trying to tune a tough room with two story ceiling, an odd floor plan shape and 5 sides are all glass. The system is comprised of passive crossover LSA 1 monitors, Raspberry Pie 3 with IAaudio DAC pro (Roon end point), Benchmark's DAC3 preamp and Polaris Amplifier. I had been using REW and UMIK-1 to measure and design IIR filters with mediocre results. I decided to migrate to FIR for improve performance, but with all the Industry software packages out there not easy. After much inspection and some demo time I purchased Audiolense XO, https://juicehifi.com. After the typical PC I/O soundcard and UMIK-1 setup we were taking measurements. Within the first hour I was listening to new filters in Roon! A Remarkable outcome, I made a sight change to the house curve and re-ran the software. Awesome, No desire to go back in and tweak it!! Very rewarding. Next, I'll be tuning my fully active 3-way open baffle 2.1 system with digital crossovers DEQX and then onto the theater. Last will be the all passive 2.0 JBL L250 Ti system. I strongly recommend Audiolense XO its straight forward. I'm sure there are more nuances Ill be learning in optimizing Audiolense. Bernt you did an outstanding job design the software! There’s No need to get another Graduate Degree to solve your acoustic problems I’m so pleased! I would otherwise not post a review. firedog, ecwl, R1200CL and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment

This is really powerful stuff. mitchco 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
Vassago Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Is there no way to make Audiolense directly compatible to set up DEXQ Room Correction capabilities?? Link to comment

If I remember correctly, DEQX hardware has it's own software RC system, so it isn't compatible. Audiolense works from a computer you use with your system, DEQX doesn't use a computer as it has the computing and SW built into it's devices. Main listening (small home office): Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments. Secondary Path: Server with Audiolense RC>RPi4 or analog>Cayin iDAC6 MKII (tube mode) (XLR)>Kii Three . Bedroom: SBTouch to Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Setup. Living Room/Kitchen: Ropieee (RPi3b+ with touchscreen) + Schiit Modi3E to a pair of Morel Hogtalare. All absolute statements about audio are false Link to comment
BadBruno1 Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 I wanted to use Audiolense generated filters inside DEQX Link to comment

But I'm not an expert. You should ask DEQX. I could be wrong, or there may be a way to get them to work I don't know about.

dericchan1 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Thanks op for sharing your experience with audiolense XO. i am definitely interested to give it a try but would like to know is it true that Audiolense XO produces a single convolution file for all channels for a specific sampling frequency rate? If so can I create channel specific filter file say L and R channels for importing to hqplayer? sorry for the silly question Deric Link to comment
BadBruno1 Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Hi Deric yes Audiolense does that with one file! Hqplayer handles the Audiolense file and assigns It to the standard channels format. i us Roon to apply the convolutions!! your on the right track Link to comment

Does it mean I can just import the single audiolense filter file to both left channel and right channel in hqplayer and hqplayer will somehow be able to assign the correct information to the channels?

BadBruno1 Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 The Audiolense file will have all the channels. one file no need for left or right file Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 You split the stereo file into mono for HQP. That’s what I do. dericchan1 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

Open the WAV, cut one channel and paste it into a new Audacity window. Then export each one into a mono WAV, one for left and right. dericchan1 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
dericchan1 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Thanks everyone, may I also inquire about how to create PEQ filters within hqplayer? If I'm not using a IIR plug-in, then how is aPEQ filter created? Is this in the matrix pipeline or elsewhere? Thanks Deric Link to comment

cjf Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 As an FYI it appears that there is an option in the newer versions of Audiolense that let you export the filters into individual mono files from within the AL program settings. dericchan1 1 My Audio System -Last Updated May 20 2021 Link to comment
