I demo'd it.
I have ARC 2, which I upgraded to 2.5 been using it for years. I didn't get the MEMS mic when I updated to 2.5... just used the orig mic that came with 2.0
I also demo Sonarworks 4? At the same time.
Sonarworks won. I noticed a considerable difference in the results in high end and low end smear.
I did measurements with the same microphone and took extreme care.
Be interested to hear your thoughts.
I must say I didn't hear as much of a difference between ARC 2.5 and ARC 3.0 as I thought there would be, and Sonarworks was a long way out in front.
Cheers
Wiz

Cheers Wiz Interesting. You might save me some time from demoing it. If it’s not moving forward from Sonarworks, not much need for it. |

Think I posted in the Group Buy thread that I got ARC and used the SW mic. Honestly think it handles the top and bottom better. I haven’t done any testing, but I like listening to ARC more than SoundID. Similar plots on the low end. Top end isn’t as drastic…
