This is a review of the miniDSP Flex HT. The Flex HT is the latest iteration on the Flex platform. HT stands for „home theater“.
Note: The unit tested has been send to me by miniDSP for feedback and testing purposes. I am not associated with miniDSP nor did I receive compensation for this review. MiniDSP had no editorial influence.
The unit offers USB, coax SPDIF, optical SPDIF, bi-directional eARC. WISA will be added through a future hardware update. I tried to bring up HDMI on my PC, but was not successful. Will try it later on a denon receiver.
Jitter is clean:
CCIF Multitone is clean. Note that I have not been using an AES17 filter:
Crosstalk is absolutely not an issue. Note: dBV=dBFS!
Pros:

Software
The unit is controlled by miniDSP device console – It is an awesome tool. Flashing, setup, upgrades... everything is quick and clear.Pros:
- Trigger output
- Awesome package and power in a little box
- miniDSP Device Console is a competitive advantage
- Dirac Live for those who do not want to tune themself
- Wisa Support through future update
- Sharp eges on the glass (especially the upper left corner)
- No Bluetooth
- No in-box decoding of DTS, 5.1 or Dolby Atmos signals
- External switch mode power supply
- buy!
