First multi-channel DSD playback solution with Mytek!

[dallasjustice]

None of this would be DSD of course. Acourate is PCM

 

According to Jussi, HQplaya can do convolution in DSD. Btw, Acourate filters are badazz!

[dallasjustice]

Yes i meant acourate only cuz it was brought up. If you end up with pcm then there are several mch dacs to choose from. Me, i love my e28

I demoed it. It sounds great. It's fatally flawed IMO.

[dallasjustice]

Any MCH DAC needs to have an analog input. DSP is very commonly used with MCH because you have so many more moving parts with speakers at varying distances from the listening position. It's not possible to get time coherence without DSP.

[dallasjustice]

How will an analog input help? Im ITU so all i need are channel trims but yes its the exception.

 

It's best practice to take synchronous measurements when building DSP filters. It's possible with audiolense, DIRAC and to a lesser extent acourate, to take measurements with 2 different devices. However, it's not ideal and doesn't always work well.

Certainly one can do basic setup without using fancy DSP, but at this level, it's best to use DSP.

 

Of course, my selfish reason is that I really wanted to use the e28 in 4CH system with dual subs. So for me, DSP is a requirement for sure.

 

What is "ITU?"

[dallasjustice]

I still don't understand. I skimmed these "ITU" papers. I didn't read anything about time coherence at listening position. Is the argument that time coherence doesn't matter in such a setup?

 

 

ITU-R BS.775

et al.

[dallasjustice]

Sorry ITU was code for identical distance at 110 to 120 degree surrounds. All my speakers are within a half inch

 

I understand what you are saying. Thanks.

 

I looked at some of your room photos on Jeff's website. Do you use a subwoofer in your MCH setup? I can't seem to find one in your room.
