Got mine this past weekend...The 2x4 HD version seems to sound much better than the descriptions of the original and its noise floor problems.  A no-op for the asking price.

 

It would be nice to know what you've hooked it to (loudspeakers, that is) and something about the room that they're in.

 

Also, let us know when you believe that the miniDSP HD has become part of your (main) listening experience, and how it has changed the sound of your listening setup.  It would also be nice to see some performance measurements with the HD in-room, if you have run measurement upsweeps.

Just happened upon this over at diyAudio--a test report on the miniDSP 4x10 HD:  https://www.neurochrome.com/minidsp-4x10-hd/

As per my knowledge you can clip the inputs pretty easily, even after changing the internal jumpers.  The HD version like you're looking at specifically fixes this problem.  The engineers apparently wanted to maintain the ability for the normal version to run off of USB power so it is what it is.

I had the 2x4 balanced ones for a while, and I had the hiss from my horns. When I moved to the 88M...the hiss vanished.

Gak!

Reading the above review it appears that when you run the lower gain setting the noise goes down.

I wonder is it worth it to upgrade my current 2x4HD to include dirac live?

I miss my Dirac, and will be getting it again when I get enough of my setup done. You can download a PC version to try out I believe on the minidsp site.
