If all 300 people who liked the first post were to buy Troy a coffee, this would cover a large part of that RME. I also suspect a lot of coffee has already been consumed in advancing this project this rapidly.

I am more of a tea drinker but yes, I have sacrificed numerous hours of sleep for this project over the last couple of months.
Or midnight oil burned.
PS: the Motu Ultralite Mk5 has been rock solid for me, in terms of windows drivers, analog input and output signal quality, reproducibility of analog measurements (something that was a pain with the M4 and with 2i4 v3). I haven't played with digital i/o yet, though. It is about half the price of the RME and has 8 analog output channels to boot.

I wonder how many could put up say 50 euro or possibly more to get this purchased? I would if we get enough combined supporters!RME interface
I am sure we could all chip in with a small donation for your great efforts
To get a 4 way from a mini DSP, the cost is significantly more, and "if" DPSi has potential future support and development, its well worth it.
In DSPi's current state I'm blown away what I can do, and how slick it is.
RME is German so seems best for Ireland delivery but sounds like Motu is an option. - I don't have any personal experience with the interfaces.

Yes beyond my means, also not enough analog ports.
What would be the equivalent of Echo AudioFire12 for raspberry? excluding firewire ofc ;-)
As good value for PC I/O as Echo Audiofire 12 ?
Total interface noob here, please ELI5 I don't need to record or mix music in the creative sense, just looking to get multi-channel analog in and out of HTPC type hardware. Primary use case is DIY convolving, loudness contour, bass management, room correction PEQ. The Echo Audiofire 12 unit...

As soon as the equipment arrived, everything was plugged in and working (easy peasy, even though, being on Windows 10, I initially had the same driver issue as Rocky Maine). I'm running DSPi Console 1.1.0 Beta1 with the corresponding firmware DSPi v1.1.0.
If I understand correctly, for now the only way to implement filtering or PEQ is by using a text file?
And therefore, there's no way yet to do the filtering directly through the console interface ? Will this feature be planned for the future?
So, I'll reiterate my question about the possibility of having some kind of roadmap for what you have in mind for the future... so we know more or less what to expect... in any case, that would be great!
In any case, it's already a very good job! Well done!

No, download the Windows Console to adjust with a GUI.
Release DSPi v1.1.1 · WeebLabs/DSPi
This release finally introduces support for 24-bit USB input and 24-bit SPDIF output! Several small bugs have also been squashed, including one which prevented volume control from reaching exact un...

Okay, I've just had a long look at the console and here's my initial impression:
So far, with version 1.1.0 beta:
(+)
- The console's design is really nice!
- As it stands, it's already functional for correcting headphones or speakers/room acoustics, but that's about it.
(-)
- No visible scale on the graphs
- Creating a proper active crossover for multi-way speakers is impossible in its current state.
First, the PEQ window isn't suitable for creating a crossover because the required scale is different.
Ideally, for the crossover, a graph with a visible scale, adjusted from -30dB to +6dB and from 10Hz to 20kHz, would be needed.
It would also be necessary to be able to select the following filters for the high-pass and low-pass :
- Butterworth (orders 1 to 8)
- Linkwitz-Riley (orders 2, 4, 6, 8)
- Besel (orders 2 to 8)
- 2nd Order (with Q)
The ability to perform a Linkwitz transform would also be appreciated.
And of course, the ability to input everything in Biquad format.
Since I seem to recall reading that some of these features are already planned, all that remains is to wait and hope for the best !
(But I'm waiting for the roadmap before making a donation! haha

The roadmap will be published after this weekend’s release, which will be available later this evening.
Once again, thank you very much to everybody who has contributed whether in the form of bug reports, feedback, code or funding.

Please grab this application and select "Weeb Labs DSPi (Interface 2)" from the dropdown box. Make sure "libusb_win32" (not WinUSB) is selected next to the green arrow and then choose "Install Driver". Give it a few minutes to install.
Once installed, you should have two DSPi devices; one under "Sound, video and game controllers" and the other under "libusb-win32".
You can then use the DSPi Console application. This has been a persistent bug that only occurs for some people but should be patched soon.

You might need to choose “List all USB devices” under Options.

You are very welcome. Could I ask for a little bit of information about your machine to aid in debug?
AMD or Intel, generation (AM4, AM5) if known, OS, connected the device to a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, hub or direct connection?

For your debug of "No USB devices visible to LibUsbDotNet" issue, which I had.
Win 11 25H2
Intel Core i7
USB port used: USB 3.1 Gen 1, direct connection.
