Hi all,
Currently, I am using DDC > I2S DAC > Preamp > Subwoofer (as crossover) > Power Amplifer > Main Speakers
For optimize the signal path (reduce the cables length and minimize analog signal loss), I am planning to implement a digital crossover dsp.
In my seraching of a digital crossover,
I have looked into Minidsp SHD Studio and Motu 8D which both have dual AES outputs.
But their both internal sampling rates are limited to 24/96.
Then I looked into RME ADI-2/4 Pro SE, which seems suitable for my use.
Target:
Digital Preamp > DDC > AES to RME ADI-2/4 Pro SE (for crossover DSP, splitting high frequency signal and low frequency signal)
For High Frequency:
High passed AES digital signal > DAC 1 > power amplifer > main speakers
For Low Frequency:
Option 1: Low passed coaxial/toslink digital signal > DAC 2 > subwoofer, or
Option 2: Low passed XLR analog signal > subwoofer
Is RME ADI-2/4 Pro SE capable for this application ?
if Yes,
for Option 1, is there any clock non-sync issues between the clocks of RME, DAC 1 and DAC 2?
for Option 2, is there any clock non-sync issues between the clocks of RME and DAC1 ?
