    USB Audio Issues with DAC8 Pro

    Does it handle WDM and WASAPI? I'm not too familiar with ASIO (other than you use it on DAWs because of the low latency), but I think it wouldn't be suitable anyway because it can only have one source at a time? Yeah I need the EQ provided by EqAPO so it's not something I'm willing to go without

    USB Audio Issues with DAC8 Pro

    I have the DAC8PRO output device in the sound settings, but it won't let me change the output format. Oddly I do have an input device as the DAC8 too which does let me change the format, still get no sound on games though. I don't have any ASIO that I know about blocking output. Windows audio...

    USB Audio Issues with DAC8 Pro

    I'm using the USB input to the DAC8 Pro with the normal windows drivers (not ASIO). I can get sound on windows applications but in REW I can't get sound - it says: No input mixers available supporting PCM_SIGNED 48000.0 Hz, 16 bit, stereo, 4 bytes/frame, little-endian I'm also not getting any...

    Studio/Monitor Sub vs HT Sub?

    Group delay/transient response too? (though from simulations I've looked at sealed subs tend to have very low group delay) I do like my bass, so it'd be important at high SPLs for low distortion. I'm wondering whether in such a case a HT centric sub would be more appropriate than a studio sub...

    Studio/Monitor Sub vs HT Sub?

    Oh I see, am I right in thinking that a good way of telling whether a sub can truly handle the lower frequencies is to look at the distortion?

    RPi4 + CamillaDSP Tutorial

    I currently use Equaliser APO to configure DSP, but that doesn't work when using ASIO. Unless theres a Pi connector which allows USB audio in from a PC?

    Okto DAC8 Pro - open to new orders

    Ha I'm just fussy and stubborn; for me the black one just looks so much better! That would be a solid offering if you could pick the front colour

    RPi4 + CamillaDSP Tutorial

    My intention is to be driver-agnostic -retaining DSP capability when using ASIO, WDM or when connecting a different device.

    Review and Measurements of Okto DAC8 8Ch DAC & Amp

    Oh do you mean in terms of actually sending a pre-crossed-over signal directly to the individual drivers instead of the crossover being done on signal arrival to the speaker unit as a whole?

    RPi4 + CamillaDSP Tutorial

    Does there exist a Pi connector to enable multi-channel digital input? I'm interested in this setup but am looking for a direct digital connection from my computer to the Pi. I had a look at the HiFi Berry digital hats but it seems they're only one or two channels (lossless); I'd be looking for...

    Review and Measurements of Okto DAC8 8Ch DAC & Amp

    I mean one thing is that I don't think I'd like to spend that much on something for it to have faults Interesting about the DDRC-88D though as I was considering that for a DSP multi-channel setup from my PC. What makes you say Dirac is not helpful for DIY active speakers? (My speakers aren't...

    Oh that looks really concerning Does anyone know whether it's been fixed?

    Are those measurements the same across all channels?

    Are speaker demos really necessary?

    If I find a speaker that I like, I'll typically: Look at pictures of it Search for measurements of it Search for a general consensus of it Consider demoing it. But what benefit would demoing actually provide? If I'm looking to assess the quality through hearing then I'd have to know what to...

    Genelec 8030C Studio Monitor Review

    Quite a few, though at a reduced amplitude compared to the rest of the spectrum. But in principle it's good to be able to reproduce those higher frequencies I'd say.

    Genelec 8030C Studio Monitor Review

    Up to 20KHz is the audible band really (obviously depending on age though). I would have thought speakers would aim for flat upto 22KHz since that's the range given by a 44100Hz sample rate (most used), though just above the limits of human hearing.

    That's a really nasty looking dip after 16K!

    Studio/Monitor Sub vs HT Sub?

    It seems to me that the Dynaudio 18S is quite good value based on its specs in comparison to other studio subs. I just find myself asking what the catch is.. They've rating it it as 16Hz (-3dB) which, for a sealed box, is really quite good I think (or have they just EQ'd it flat and then made...

    Studio/Monitor Sub vs HT Sub?

    Very true, there is a lot of pointless extra stuff added onto the SVS that wouldn't be needed in a proper setup (the lack of balanced is surprising but also unsurprising for the target audience). Only needed I'd argue if you don't have a centralised DSP. I've recently become aware of the...
