Hi guys,
I’ve just gotten around to finishing the cabinet for my custom 2-way monitors, using a ribbon tweeter. I’ve decided to implement a digital dsp crossover to maximize flexibility, but I’ve gotten a bit confused about how to do so. Here’s what I’m hoping to do here:
PC and MacBook to DSP to Topping D90 to 4x Neurochrome 86 amps to 2x Tweeters and 2x Woofers.
Now I’ve read that if I want to keep my DSP in the digital domain and to use the superior performance of the D90, I might need 2x D90s, one for each speaker?
If so, what kind of DSP will allow me to do all of these things, implement a FIR linear crossover upstream of my D90 DAC, with enough processing power? How much lag am I looking at? I have an old PC from 2015 lying around that I can use for DSP calculations, is that too much horsepower?
Sorry for all the questions, I started at miniDSP then went to SHARC and a bunch of other sources and got lost. Any tips, guidance, advice, is much appreciated, implementing a top-notch DSP crossover is definitely more involved then sticking a box in the source chain.
Thank you!
