Intel NUC, HQ Player - Active crossovers/room correction?

[philip_s]

Hi, 

 

 

I'm looking to consolodate my room correction and active crossovers into a single place with greater level of processing power than the OPEN DRC (increased number of taps).

 

Can anyone tell me if a setup such as an Intel NUC running an embedded HQ player outputting to Mini DSP-UDAC8 would work?. 

 

 

I currently have; 

 

Sources:  Intel NUC running ROON ROCK + Turntable with ADC@24/192

Room Correction:   Mini DSP DDRC-22D, Dirac Room Correction 

FIR, Active Crossovers:    Mini DSP Open DRC-DA8

3 way Speakers

 

Regards

 

Phil.

I think one big question to answer would be whether or not the embedded HQ Player would recognize the Mini DSP-UDAC8 in a driver less fashion or not and will it see all the channels.

 

I've been using an Intel NUC i5 w/16GB of RAM for a few years but only within the last year or so did I introduce Room Correction/DSP into the picture. If I were to do it over again I would not choose a NUC again unless it was one of these (attached).

The i5 that I have now works but I can see it struggling with ROON a bit when doing SRC, DSP VOL and Convolution.

What is your operating system?  The UDAC-8 requires an installed ASIO driver under Win but runs without one under recent MacOS.

Hi , 

 

Having looked around I think I can acomplish what I want by using Acourate's 'Acourate Covolver' - Which can talk ASIO . 

 

I would then use the Intel (NUC7I7BNH) with a Windows OS and use a different Roon Core.
