Hi guys,
recently I spent a long time looking for a multichannel DAC or active crossover with a low price tag (~500€).
MiniDSP stuff price is very honest but the quality of the internal DAC is only subpar. Okto devices are wonderful but well over my budget.
I evaluated a solution including a RME Digiface USB and several SMSL Sanskrit 10th. This solution comes with a significant quality, considering also RME drivers, but I will miss the remote control and the total budget will still be over.
I'm now considering DIY starting from a MiniDSP Shark board. The idea is to assemble the following setup:
USB to I2S converter

MiniDSP Shark

4x DAC board with I2S input

Would this be a valid setup? What do you think about that specific DAC board? Any advice?
