I'm in the planning stage of converting one of my passive 2 ways to active.
Originally, I was planning to use my RME Babyface Pro's 4 channel output. But now that I have an LA90D, DX1 and G5, and I'm probably getting an E30 II to power the [very low distortion] tweeter (power is enough if anyone's doubting - the tweeter is just 4% shy of the ideal 80% woofer / 20% tweeter power ratio (the tweeter being 6.5dB/W more efficient than the woofer helps, along with the LA90D only putting 41W into 8 ohms...). Amp choice isn't the point of this thread though.
I'm wondering if I can I use my DX1 for the lows and G5 for the highs, or buy another DX1 to add to my first one so I can use them both for the 4 channels my actives will need, and keep my G5 for headphones only.
I've noticed the DX1 actually shows up as "G5" in Windows' Control Panel -> Sound. I'm hoping having two cards with the same name isn't going to cause some issue. In the past I've actually had issues (granted it was a while ago with Windows 7 lol, but it is M$, they could've been just sitting on their hands with their thumbs up or something). Will this naming cause issues? The same XMOS chip twice cause issues? Can anything I'm not considering cause issues?
