miniDSP 2x4 HD

miniDSP 2x4 HD

MiniDSP 2x4 HD, a USB DAC+DSP in a low cost package powered by a powerful Sharc 400MHz floating point DSP. The upgraded on-board 400 MHz Analog Devices SHARC processor also ena-bles substantial processing upgrades previously available only on more ex-pensive platforms, such as 96 kHz internal...

or the

ddrc-24

DDRC-24

DDRC-24 Dirac Live processor, 2 x IN, 4 x OUT Dirac live processor for room correction.

an if so which would be best

one of these is to be placed between my grace balanced dac an schiit magnius with some rca to xlr cables any suggestions on that i only need two pairs a foot long

i thought about getting the

10" Windows 10 Fusion5 FWIN232 Plus S1 Ultra Slim Windows Tablet PC to use would this work with either of them

do you mean a regular windows running machine? if so then yes.

I'm still not sure if you have a regular windows or some sort of Windows for ARM processors.

With both options, the MiniDSP would effectively become your DAC, so no point in keeping the schiit. the DDRC-24 makes the room correction process automated, while the 2*4HD requires you to do (design) the correction yourself.

its meant for exturnal eq control between my grace balanced dac an schiit magnius headphone amp as my linux eq is crap an never works right an i always prefered exturnal eq over pc software

you can just use the optical / USB input on the MiniDSP 2*4 HDand skip your DAC. it will infact provide the most performance.

However, if you have a DAC i would recommend the Open-DRC DI instead

OpenDRC-DI

All digital floating point room correction DSP with SPDIF/AES-EBU/Toslink interface. Boxed in sturdy aluminum enclosure.

is the Open-DRC DI compatible with linux

an does it have a peq eq control

yes but you need to configure it using a Mac or Windows PC.

The 2x4HD + Dirac Upgrade is technically a DDRC-24. I would buy the 2x4HD without Dirac, since using Dirac with headphones makes no sense. If you want to use Dirac later, buy the upgrade.

Once configured, Linux just works.

To run the config software, you have to look at the operating system that the tablet runs. If it is Windows 10 x86 or x86_64, you are in luck. If not, install a Windows-VM on your Linux box.
