Hi
A friend at work has a working Lexicon DC-2 which I can buy for $200. I want to connect my Bluesound node 2's SPDIF output to the DC-2 SPDIF input and set it to Logic-7 mode.
Now, my Denon X4800H doesn't have multichannel analog inputs.
So, I was thinking, is there a multichannel analog to digital on-the-fly converter/encoder device that can take 8 analog channels, encode them into a multichannel PCM, and output them via HDMI, which would support 8-channel PCM?
Perhaps it could be possible to do this using a PC with an 8-channel soundcard that can do l time encoding to even Dolby Digital or DTS?
Is this even worth the trouble? I'm very curious to test the logic-7 upmixing capabilities.
I'm even open to an offline solution (sound card with 8 channel analog inputs that can capture them at once as 8 different wave files which I could later encode as LPCM using an audio editor software)
Thanks
