    Which is the most reasonable audio interface for room correction (KH 150, MA 1)?

    Neumann doesn't make room correction with MA 1 easy... So I am looking for an audio interface that comprises a balanced analog input with 48 V phantom power and 2 balanced analog outputs at a reasonable price. I found the Rode A1. Does it make any sense? It seems that there are no reasonable RME...

    Can I connect Genelec speakers digitally in this way?

    I am wondering if this set-up will work: Raspberry Pi -> USB -> Topping D10s -> AES/EBU SPDIF cable -> Genelec 83XX A HAT with AES/EBU outputs might be cheaper than the Topping D10s but I currently don't need it. I am also looking for a nice switch box to additionally connect my TV via optical...
