According to this post @ AVS, the beta version of Dirac Live is now in the hands of users. The free Limited Trial version page is also up, though there's no link for download that I can find - yet. As described, the Trial version allows users to:
•Assure compatibility with computer and sound card
•Measure the frequency response of your room
•Measure the impulse response of your room
but will not perform Dirac optimization, which requires the future, Full Version. Per the AVS post, full version is PC or Mac compatible and will cost $650 or $455 (respectively?) with a 25% discount for early adopters.
Chuck (Audioguy) had indicated that he signed up as a Beta tester, and hopefully he'll post his thoughts after some use.
For anyone using a PC/Mac-based server + Dac, this could be a realatively inexpensive way to get some pretty powerful "room" correction. Extensive discussion of Dirac Beta (in multi-ch Datasat) vs. Trinnov (in TEQ 12) may be found here.
