is there any disadvantage in using the Dirac Live iOS app on the iPad? saw a video tutorial on it & looks so much easy to use. Feels like a more simple way to tune.

Is it good enough for the non hardcore dirac users?


Cheers..

do's this avr. support 7.1.4 channels setup?

Yes with external amplification

It does have seven channels amplified internally, four more that are pre-amp outputs which need an external power amplifier.

I would say yes, though the new version 2 is much quicker and easier than version 1 on the PC, IMO.

A touch screen won't allow me the kind of control I want, but for applying a basic correction or just doing a quick test, it works well.

Thanks. that is also exactly my plan, i'm just going to use the T758 stricktly as preamp.
curious about Dirac live, assuming that i want to purchase the Full version, do you do that via the software application, or do i have to go to the Dirac website?, i guess buying the Full version will be locked only for this specific AVR. correct?

I can't say for sure about other brand products, but after I had added the AM230 to my T758 to make it a full "v3" spec unit, I upgraded to the full version of Dirac. Months later when I bought an NAD Masters M10 for my office 2.1 channel system, the Dirac for that showed both the T758v3 and the M10 as having the full version of Dirac Live.

that's good , atleast it sounds as if we can use it on nad avr's
how is the process to upgrade to the dirac full version, via the appillcation/website?
how much the dirac upgrade cost?

Marco - it is $99 and tied to your account you login to Dirac Live with. You do it via the Dirac website - George

You can use the full version on how many units you want. I have two T758 v3s and full Dirac works on both

After Dirac Live calibration with a Harman Curve etc (bringing down the HF etc.) who can I effectivly find out at which MV reference level is? The analog in seems to be lower in volume than my HDMI in, so I dont trust REW (using Chinch)

TIA

Well that is a welcome surprise! I had assumed it was tied to the unit since it's non-transferable. I wonder if it will transfer to other devices as well, and if so; only within manufacturer? Only within CE products? Or even to the PC/MAC version...

Hello All
I have a couple of questions that I hope you may be able to help me with. I am looking at an NAD 758 v3 to replace an Onkyo Tx RZ.
1) From reading the posts it seems that Dirac is a noticeable improvement in sound over accueq. Will it be a large improvement in sound quality?
2) Will the NAD be able to do 7.1.4 with 4 dolby atmos enabled speakers as the height channels?
3) If the NAD can do 7.1.4 will I be able to use the internal amps of the receiver to do the height channels, and run the other channels with external amps?
4) I have read that some people have had some hissing noise from the speakers that have preouts connected to an amp. How common is that? I do not want to hear hissing from my speakers connected via preouts to an amp.
5) I am assuming that the NAD has dolby surround up mixer that I can set for wide spread in order to listen to 2 channel music.
Thank you so much for your time in reading this post, and sharing some of your knowledge.
Thank you

1. Yes. Profoundly so. Being able to create and store up to 3 different curves in the unit for instant switching is so cool too.
2. Kind of. You get 7 amplified channels plus 4 more pre-amp'd outputs for the Dolby Atmos. You need a 4-channel amp for those.
3. No. Though one can use two of the channels for Atmos in a 5.1.2 system (as I do), one can't reassign all of them to do different things.
4. Not lately. It was never common, but there were some problems early on. Fixed. Great warranty service on that if you do get it.
5. Not sure. However, NAD has multiple other modes in the T758v3 that work fantastic for 2-channel music.

Yes the NAD has Dolby Surround Upmixer, and it is indeed fantastic

Hello KenM10759
Thank you so much for helping me. I do appreciate your time, and knowledge.

I should know that, as I occasionally use it. I do prefer the NAD "Enhanced Stereo" mode as I've set it up with no center speaker.

I think its for only NAD products

Anyone having trouble with gapless playback on Spotify connect with recent firmware? Two recent updates have the issue for me (latest + 1 previous). Not a huge deal but very noticeable on mixed albums. On an IPhone X, IOS 13.1.2.

Yes I've noticed this. If you have a display connected, you'll notice that there's now a brief pause with silence between tracks where the Spotify logo is displayed before showing the album art of the next track. This didn't happen on the previous FW.

That seems to be a Spotify problem rather than a T758v3 one. Haves there been any updates to the service?

Hi @tjcinnamon , I've began experiencing these freezes. They tend to happen twice a week for the past 2 weeks. Before that, I'd never had an issue with this amp. I really don't enjoy doing these hard resets by litterally unplugging the amp from the outlet. Did you manage to find a solution to this ? Does the issue still occur on your side ?

It just resolved itself. I did upgrade the firmware via USB... not sure if that “fixed” it but it hasn’t happened in a while.

I have an Apple TV4k that doesn’t always ready Atmos metadata on some DD+ Atmos music, not can the Apple TV 4K do bitstreaming for TrueHD.

Has anyone found a way to bypass the Apple TV and play content directly from USB? I know the Bluesound app can read from other sources, but I’m not sure it can read .mp4 video files with Atmos content. Anyone tried this or other methods?

Looked into a Chromecast?

Chrome cast? Hmm, was hoping there was a feature on the T758v3 I hadn’t flexed yet, like the BluOS app.

The chrome cast is a step down from the ATV at any rate. I think I would go the shield route first.

Not really. It's not a direct replacement or competitor. It's just an endpoint to whatever video or audio stream you care to point it to. I use it with my phone and it's the best $35 I've ever spent ($25 over last weekend, check to see if still on sale).

All of a sudden my NAD IP address is 0.0.0.0. How can I reestablish an internet connection? All my other devices work fine. Also, I can not access settings in the Bluos app.

Is this the IP assigned by your router? That should be handled by DHCP...

If all else fails, start from step 1 of the NAD instructions for connecting to WiFi.

Thanks. I started Bluos settings over and all is well!
