Minidsp Flex Review (Audio DSP)

[diablo]

When power comes up again after power loss, unit reboots and stays on.
Which indeed can be annoying.
I am using Logitech Harmony automation.
When power comes back, I have to put the unit in standby otherwise next time I use it, my harmony activity puts in in standby.

I'm also using a Harmony in my lounge and have the same minor problem. I doubt they will bother adding on/off codes from this thread on the MiniDSP forum -

Separate IR codes for "power off" and "power on" instead of "power toggle"

Hello, I'm using a Logitech harmony remote to control my miniDSP Flex. I am using so called activities to control mutliple devices such as an integrated amplifier, TV, miniDSP Flex. There is only a single "power toggle" button for miniDSP Flex and that is not sufficient for all cases. Does...

Thanks for the replies.

When the device gets automatically on after power is reconnected, then this is not good, but I think maybe I can do there something with a smart plug and my homeassistant instance, as I use that already for my stereo system for other devices.

I want to replace my C658 as the software getting me on my nerves, so I need a good replacement for it.

Some question about the Balanced and Unbalanced Version of the Flex:

Does somebody use the MiniDSP Flex in the Unbalanced Version in a 2.1 Setup with a Hypex NC252MP Class D Module?

I want to know if the 2V of output voltage of the Unbalanced Version is sufficient to drive the NC252MP to full output.
My subwoofer only has RCA inputs and currently I don't have any hum issues (maybe cause TV and BluRay is only connected via Toslink), hope that will be the same with the Flex Unbalanced.

I want to know if the 2V of output voltage of the Unbalanced Version is sufficient to drive the NC252MP to full output.

Amplifier output voltage = input voltage * 10^(Amplifier gain in dB/20)

and

Amplifier output power = output voltage^2 / load impedance in Ohm

Here's a handy spreadsheet that combines these:

That's amazing, thanks for the review. I would pair three of those with an Onkyo rz-50. Since I have to buy cables anyway, are there any benefits in going rca-xlr vs rca-rca? According to Amir's review of the rz-50, it can output up to about 3.5 volt

If I take down a peak at 28Hz and one at 57Hz, but when I do that, a dip at 38Hz is also lowered by -1.2dB. If I put a boost in Flex of +1.2dB at 38Hz and overall level is 0.0 in Flex device consoe. Have i anyway reduced headroom and increased the risk of clipping Flex?
