Budget Amp With High Pass Filter

[MCH]

Does it have the High Pass Filter?

Yes, low pass and high pass with adjustable crossover frequency

The high pass filter is for powered speakers?

Even this one has one (although limited to 90 hz).:

This is a good feature for you to implement in upcoming models (a small knob in the back with frequency selection that would allow to select a common point of both high pass filter to the speakers and low pass filter to the sub) - this is what the sabaj a30a has (although in the digital realm), i guess your pffb ones could have this.
You already have in some units bot only for the low pass, this time it would regulate the high pass also.

Another recent entry with a crossover in an inexpensive integrated amp is the Wiim Amp.

Most cheap AVRs will give you around 70W + crossover + sub out. Best to use analog input on those though.

It seems like this one can share 100W between the channels, so you'd need 2. https://www.parts-express.com/Dayto...-Stereo-Amplifier-with-Bluetooth-5.0-300-3807

not sure you can use them as monoblocks

Eh? What does analog input have to do with it particularly?

I have preferred the analog inputs vs internal streaming or optical inputs as I found using an external DAC to be more cleaner sound.

How did you do that particularly? Good level matched blinded testing or just some poor casual comparison?

The rhino in the hallway.

An analogue crossover is always in danger of adding at least some distortion to the signal. The WiiM applies the HP and LP filters in the digital domain, which bypasses this possibility (see Amir’s recent test showing the EQ had no impact on performance).

The issue with just having a DAC with this built in is if you don’t use, or intend to use the DAC’s volume control. Because that results in you turning up your amp increases/decreases the volume on the mains but not the sub.

So the best solution is a DAC/pre amp with a sub out, or an all-in-one like the WiiM Amp.

How long until the WiiM Ultra is released? If they get it right, it’s going to clean up.
