Hello everyone,
I’m looking for some advice regarding my setup and the best way to configure it. After watching DMS’s video on his self-made Dolby Atmos system, I’ve been inspired to create a more immersive sound experience myself.
Currently, I have 2 Swissonic A305s and 2 JBL 305P MKIIs, and I’d like to experiment with a 4-channel setup. Adding a dedicated channel for a subwoofer might be great in the future, but it’s not a priority right now.
The system will be connected to my PC, and I’m trying to figure out the best way to route and configure the audio. Ideally, I’d like to know:

- Can I use something like the U2Audio7-1 DAC for this setup? Would I be able to connect all 4 speakers to it and configure them properly via software? Or are there advantages to going with a DSP like the MiniDSP 2x4 HD instead?
- I already looked into the Behringer UMC404HD—could this work? Or is something like the MiniDSP 2x4 HD better for future upgrades to more channels?
- I’m open to buying used hardware or new, but I’d like to keep the budget at around 200–250€, if possible.
- I’m new to this topic, so any recommendations on hardware, software, or general tips for optimizing a 4-channel immersive setup would be greatly appreciated.
