    Hey all - so I’m totally new to PEQ/correction, etc. Done a bunch of reading and searching but still not exactly clear on this and how to generate the files. Here is what I’d like to do: I have an Eversolo A8 and I’d like to use its DSP to do room correction when I’m playing digital. I have...

    Will an external DAC sound better/different than my AVR DAC?

    Hi everyone. The thread's subject is almost clickbaity as I expect responses of "there is no difference" as I have read on numerous posts here. However, I am asking more from a theoretical perspective. Most responses I have read are similar to the following: the DAC conversion in the external...

    JBL 705P Circuitry?

    As mentioned elsewhere I've just upgraded to a pair of JBL 705Ps. To feed them I've assembled PiCorePlayer on a Pi4 with a HifiBerry SPDIF HAT. This feeds the AES input nicely. So it's an all-digital signal path. Or is it? Does anyone here have an insight into the internals of the 70x series...

    Any software or electrical engineers on the forum familiar with the USB spec?

    I recently got a Moondrop FreeDSP which is an IEM cable with a USB-C termination, comprising both a balanced DAC and a DSP. It's plug and play and the last used DSP profile is automatically carried forward & applied without the need of any software. However, the software you need to configure...

    Help with understanding sampling rate for DSP.

    Hi, quick question. I’m looking at the DMP-A8 and its DSP capabilities. I see people talking about the fact that the DSP resamples hi res audio to 48khz. On this site I thought it was pretty well established that “hi res” audio (specifically its sampling rate for the purposes of this discussion)...

    Cheap DSP recommendation for bass management.

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for a small low-cost DSP (less than 200 euros) to only manage the equalization of two or three subwoofers. I saw the t.racks dsp 4x4 mini pro. Seems like he can do the job with dignity. Has anyone tried it? Are there any differences in sound quality between the non-pro...

    Subwoofer integration without external DSP

    I'm planning adding a subwoofer to my system, but I don't want to use external DSP. Are there any guides I should follow in order to phase (/time) align the subwoofer to the mains solely by positioning and through the sub's own dsp settings (crossover, phase, etc.)? Can it be done? Thank you

    Non-Raspberry Pi SBCs for Streaming + CamillaDSP

    I'm about to get a MOTU Ultralite mk5 to pair with an SBC for CamillaDSP/streaming, but unfortunately Raspberry Pi 4s are still hard to find at decent prices. There are plenty of alternative SBCs and small form-factor PCs out there, but it's hard to narrow it down to one that's not too weak nor...

    Parametric EQ options with audio interface and monitors

    I have a Focusrite 2i2 audio interface, and its speaker outputs are combined with headphones output in the system, as in most/all audio interfaces out there, I guess. I'm planning to buy some active near-field monitors, and I'd like to EQ speakers only (without affecting the headphones output)...

    Active speakers with Topping E/L 30, or 2.1 amp with passive speakers?

    Hello! I currently have a Topping E30 DAC, with an L30 amp. I'm quite happy with them. What I'm not happy with are my 20-year old, $20, 2.1 channel computer speakers. When I listen to music, I use my headphones. However, it would be nice to be able to have decent audio at moderate volumes for...
