I own the HDP-4 and like it a lot. Has really helped with my bass issues in my room that room treatment alone cannot fix.

Can't comment on it vs the hdp express. I believe Nyles Mellor who posts here and sells them will have a more informed opinion

I have spoken to him , nice guy and seems well versed it the devices and give full support . For me I need a four way and it will cost about 8 k . And as that is not a lot given this hobby. But I would like to here some successful stories before I go through with this. As for this system it is the most complete as it does come with all features so in this way it's really the only choice I could find. The only choice that comes close is the accuphase df55. And IRS 20 k and does not do room correction through software. So as I do not seem to have many choices , I am just looking to here some Ra RA for the equipment .
And thanks for replying

How does it fit into your system given the analogue source(s) and pre-amp? Are you feeding it with the pre-amp output? Or as an input to the pre-amp for digital sources? If it's the former then is resolution maintained at low volumes?

I use it in the tape loop. This way maximum resolution is maintained and I use my pre amp as normal.
I must admit I was quite surprised when deqx told me that digital resolution is so poor on low level/low volume.

I can listen without eq, deqx in the loop with speaker calibration and 3 eq presets all at the press of the remote.

Hard to believe ( it took me a while to remove my audiophile prejudices), but even an analog lover can enjoy transparent dsp eq.

Cheers

Can you supply any more details on deqx's view of low level digital performance?
