    New Name, Same Venue: The Florida International Audio Expo Sets 2023 Dates

    :cool: Seriously though, it's the typical near the water hotel. It's decent rooms, nasty traffic, limited parking (that you pay for). The good: You are in usually in SUNNY Florida with perfect weather, around the bunch of wankers you love daily (online) and listening to tunes and seeing some...

    It's subjective isn't it? :)

    While I'm not crazy about the venue, I'm glad it's in my state. :T

    8ch dac for AL and Roon?

    Interesting that you say that given Mitch's experience. Also, if you don't level match beforehand, you run a high risk of clipping or blowing a driver.

    Then it's non existent! :) The thought of setting the volume manually and it staying that way without ASIO being "attached" all the time is critical. Still sounds like a pain in the honestly. Motu = open program, adjust using the UI and close. Done.

    Have you tested it?

    8ch dac for AL and Roon?

    Yes. I use the Motu Ultralite Mk5 so I can do it manually so it's not an issue. I want to keep insertion loss to an absolute minimum and that's why I do it this way. @Mitchco post on ASR summed it up perfectly. For those that don't want to click on the above link:

    There's one major flaw with the DM7 that I've posted about on ASR. There is no way to adjust the volume on each output channel manually. You really want to level match each channel BEFORE taking any measurements. This totally sucks IMO.

    That's interesting. I do agree that the differences are likely minute and not audible if properly blind tested. If you're running balanced though, the Motu Ultralite MK5 is finally back in stock and hard to beat for the money IMO.

    8ch dac for AL and Roon?

    Yes, TRS to 3.5mm if you must use the wireless box.

    8ch dac for AL and Roon?

    Yes, I do have all my subs direct to the Motu. I use TRS > RCA (FM8) or TRS > XLR (F18). In your case without the wireless connector, I'd use #5 as I highlighted. The wireless adapter is USB > 3.5mm. I don't see why you couldn't make a TRS > 3.5mm cable and try it. The only issue you might...
