As someone who intends to use an RME UFX as a multi-channel DAC I’m interested in this. I’ll probably be using lower gain amps on my mid/ tweeter horn, but I am still anticipating having to equalise the gain with the woofer amp with Totalmix.

I’ve been reading / watching a lot about cross talk cancellation software and the benefits it delivers in stereo imaging and ambience recreation. This is all done using filters in the digital domain of course, so how cool would it be if AL had a cross talk cancellation option that combined with...

Good to know.

Thank you Bernt.

No I was considering using it as a crossover, but I wanted to know if it was transparent. Hence my experiment.

I’m not sure what you mean by digital preamp?

@Mitchco: so HLC does not convert the music stream but converts the filters instead?

Bernt That’s very informative, thank you. An unconverted bitstream from source to DAC must certainly be preferable - that is what I was hoping for but I didn’t know if it was possible in practice. So, just to confirm I’ve understood correctly: with JRiver and the AL convolver, the original...

The best way I can answer is to use a cliche I’m afraid, but it does describe the effect; it was as though a heavy curtain had been drawn in front of the speakers.

Let me first explain why I am asking this question. In the past I have experimented with a MiniDSP 4x10HD unit to try and determine whether it was completely transparent. I did this by inserting it into a passive system between the digital source and my DAC i.e. I used the digital inputs and...

Out of interest, why do you want to change from JRiver to HQPlayer?

So am I right in understanding that HLC MCH running on a Mac will allow you run AudioLense filters that were generated on a Windows machine ?

I’m having some Scintillas rebuilt and I plan on using AL for both crossover and room correction duties (with Mitch’s assistance). There is someone out there who already used AL with Scintillas because Mitch references the implementation in his YouTube video. If you are the owner of that...

Surprised nobody has posted about the newish Topping DM7. It’s an 8 channel DAC for about $600 as I recall. FWIW it got an excellent review on ASR.

I’m very impressed. Can you tell me why you went with the Beyma 200 rather than the 150? (I’m not sure what the differences are.). I know that lots of people really like the Beymas in OB.
