People assume that because someone cracked the BSS macro password and published the results they can use any DSP…I don’t agree.
If you’ve measured the along output from BLU loaded with the macros, (as I have, from BLU-50) and compared it to same settings in standard filters (as I have, using miniDSP 2x4HD and Monoprice HTP-1) you would know that some BSS filters use slightly different math. (2x4HD and HTP-1 were basically the same, the differences coming from the coarser volume steps in HTP-1).
For 708 the difference is admittedly less than 705, but the fact remains that you’re not actually getting the designed voicing by entering the “cracked” specs into a standard processor.
Are the 708P amps "noisier" than the Crowns? What is the noise worry in the Crowns particularly?
Fan noise is the issue with Crown DCI. Otherwise they’re fine.
