Took a few new measurements, and seems mostly good, but one old bug seems to remain where AL shuts down unexpectedly in the middle of measurements. No error message whatsoever, so no clue as to what is causing it. Other than the unexpected shutdown, I believe I am getting more consistent...

Can't really say. It just has a clarity I've never heard before, and I wasn't expecting it at all. I also get some satisfaction when I see that some of my online purchases are mastered on merging equipment :)

Yes. Yes. Also, think DM7 sounded better than Motu but not that big a difference. Also own an Exasound E38 which I thought was better than Motu, but on par with the DM7, but all of these DACs are relatively close as far as I'm concerned. Hapi is first DAC I've owned where I thought it really...

I'm now using a Hapi MK2 which provides up to 16 channels.

I've actually moved on from Motu since I needed more channels, but it proved very reliable for me. The DAC is also pretty good, and imho was very close to the DM7. What I didn't like about the Motu is that it is slow to switch between sample rates. If you just listen to everything at one...

Unfortunately, that's probably the ultimate solution. If you go this route, the other benefit that many AL users see is improvement with the measured delay timings. For example, when measuring 2 or 3 times back to back, with microphone in same exact postion, my delays for each measurement...

It's not really a unique interface other than it's one device with one ASIO driver. Key is that it's only one ASIO driver being used for both input and output on a single unitified interface. For example, Motu ultra-lite MK-5 has one ASIO driver for both Mic input + up to 10 channels of...

I wrongly thought you were using the focusrite as your DAC for a 2 channel setup and you could just switch over to its native ASIO driver. Since you have a DM7, it seems you have need for more than 2 channels. Some people have gotten this to work (maybe try WASAPI instead of ASIO4ALL), but...

ASIO4ALL is really only for when you don't have an ASIO driver, or for some reason you need to aggregate devices that otherwise couldn't be used together. If you have proper microphone to use with Focusrite, then use the native drivers. Also, if you can use native ASIO driver, I'm guessing...

From other thread I see you are using ASIO4ALL with your audio interface.. Is there reason you can't use a native ASIO driver?

Ok. I think is sorted out. I reduced the sweep time from 7 seconds to 5 seconds and increased the memory allocation to 160% . I was able to take 4 successive measurments without a hint of noise or other distortions. Thanks to @e1guapo for the suggestion to increase memory allocation for AL.

I run sample rate at 48, so really can't go much lower. The interesting thing about this is when you review the sweep files having pops, clicks and distortions, there is inappropriate wav output on other channels i.e. when channel 2 is being measured, and should be the onlly signal at that...

@juicehifi I started having intermittent clicks, pops and other distortions during the measurment process. I recently increased number of measured channels from 10 to 13 (7 second sweep at 48Khz), but should that make a difference? To try and figure out what's going on I listened to the sweep...

Needs to be added to the Setup/Optional Sampling Frequencies. If added from Measurement / Sample Settings / Sampling Frequency / Customize List and it's not on the Setup menu it doesn't "stick".
