Rew and Minidsp using Mac and Arcam

[Gerry Iaria]

Hello there, I've finally ordered a Minidsp 2x4hd after thinking about it for a while, now I've so many questions, I hope you don't mind, first ones are about videos I've seen from home theater gamer and Gurus, they, and and others all assume that everyone is using an Audyssey receiver and a Windows laptop, on the Audyssey you can individually change the xover of the speakers, on my Arcam 390, you can't, there's just one general xover, also they say to use Mso and por Asio, I'm using a Mac, so no need for that I think, it's that right?
Also they say to not use the built in receiver calibration to eq, and add it after, surely if you add in my case Dirac live after, it'll mess up all the work you've done before, its that right? Are there any videos or tips on how to use Mac and an Arcam?
Sorry for the long confusing post, looking forward to getting my minidsp soon, thank you for your attention

If you are using the 2x4HD to align subs to each other then no, it won’t mess up your work.
If you are using it to align the subs to the mains then yes, but in my experience Dirac does very well with this, so no need for you to before Dirac. You can check to see if Dirac did it properly afterwards though

Thank you very much, can't wait to start "fiddling" as my wife says
