So the "Tesla integration" (which I can do as I have lifetime premium connectivity) is lacking in that for "master/lossless" audio, you need to download the tracks. Streaming is limited to 160kbps. The setup I have with the Raspberry Pi also has an LTE modem added, so I can use the Android...
It shouldn't be much different than a typical Android phone/tablet in terms of upsampling "quality" as that's done by the Android OS I think? And isn't hardware dependent?
First, it's more of a mental exercise than one I believe I can actually discern between, especially when listening in a car.
But... if you had a choice of a good 44.1kHz/16 bit lossless audio source playing through the stereo... and you had to choose between it being transmitted over Bluetooth...
I had two leftover (unused) Martin Logan subs (one 10" and one 12" sealed)... so I use them in my home office desktop setup.
Elac DBR62
MiniDSP Flex DSP
Parasound HCA-1500A Amplifier (overkill but again, left over stuff)
Martin Logan subwoovers
They're integrated nicely to the point you don't...
I have an older Marantz AV7005 pre-pro and have no desire for ATMOS and I've solved my 4K HDMI routing... so this was my plan with something like a MiniDSP DDRC-8A... but lack of DLBC keeps me from thinking it's worth it. And any "PC based" system is more than I want to get into.
Indeed it is, although the latest tutorial on youtube using "inversion" actually is quite easy to follow... but as mentioned, for two channel I prefer to have HomeAudioFidelity create them for me using their special techniques.
My favorite feature in Roon is the ability to use convolution filters. Check out homeaudiofidelity.com and with a measurement microphone using their tool, you can measure your room and send Thierry@HAF the info and he'll send you back professionally made corrections for your room. You don't...
I'm actually a dummy... I used to use a 2x4 HD and SMSL DAC feeding it analog... but recently got the FLEX and am sending it USB and using it as my DAC... so it was somewhat moot to begin with since I was bypassing ADC... but I know it still wants to upsample to 96kHz for DSP... which is fine...
You are indeed correct... as this is what MiniDSP responded as well.
All our processors require to resample to the DSP clock rate. Even if it's 96k sample rate, it's a different clock. Does this make sense?
For that reason the ASRC is always active in all cases. It won't make a difference...
Fair comment... I only have port forwarding and as an IT guy, I'm not too concerned about that for a few reasons. Maybe not much value now but once ARC supports sending DSP'd streams... it will be great for an office or other remote setup outside the home.
Roon confirmed DSP is coming to ARC endpoints at some later date... looking forward to measuring my car's audio system in REW and doing some correction in it and having convolution filters playing through Roon ARC. LOL.
