A Flex running Dirac Live would also downsample to 48 kHz.
Edit: and I assume you meant 48 kHz there not 48 Hz! Just a factor of 1000 difference

They have removed that feature in the Flex.
Cartridge? Where we are going we don't need cartridges: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_turntable
It's a costly solution and doesn't fix records inherent limitations. I would say get a CD player to solve it.
There is about 25-30ms latency in the MiniDSP 2x4HD. I’m assuming the Flex would be the same. For 2 channel (or 2.1) set up, you might not notice the audio sync delay. However this might be an issue in a multi channel set up. You could potentially seat the Flex between the receiver and the front LR speakers (presumably for Dirac) with the other speakers connected directly to the receiver. In this case, the receiver will need to time align the other channels by adding about 25 feet of distance in addition to the actual speaker distance to each of the other channels. Many consumer receivers have a max speaker distance setting of 25 ft, which might be an issue.

That's not true. Well, possibly unless FIR filters are used I suppose.
miniDSP - dsp latency across the product line?
Would be great to understand the DSP latency across the different miniDSP models. I'm very much curious if a miniDSP product can control a sub/mid woofer up to...

Such a shame they removed the remote learning. There's no way I can upgrade to a flex from my DDRC-24 without it. My 3 daughters and wife are less caring then 30db of SINAD than I am!They have removed that feature in the Flex.

LOL ... maybe you can use an universal remote with learning functions.

According to the Flex manual, remote learning is indeed supported.They have removed that feature in the Flex.

If you download the latest (1.0) version of the manual you'll see that this has been removed, as noted in the change log at the start of the document.

Wow. I opened a miniDSP support ticket on this subject a few weeks ago, and they said it was supported
. At least you can still manually program third party remotes.

Note the manual now provides remote codes to be manually entered on a programmable remote instead.Wow. I opened a miniDSP support ticket on this subject a few weeks ago, and they said it was supported

I use the harmony app (WiFi died on remote a while back). You have to input the DDRC-24 as a different device (I have it as a Sony TV), then remote learn the DDRC-24 functions as commands on the device you have it inputted as. Lose all that and the amount of earache I receive will drown out the SINAD improvement

Looks like I have to read the manual then. Thanks.

"SIN ... what? This fuc.... thing doesn't work"
what?!?! son of a faucet #!?#!.. ohwell...They have removed that feature in the Flex.

They aren't really comparable products. The VMV D1e is just a DAC, not a 2-input, 4-output DSP unit (with optional Dirac Live functionality). It depends what you're looking for.

I am also using a Logitech Harmony hub and owned a ddrc-24 prior moving to the Flex.
IR learning on the Flex was partially working thus I contacted with minidsp about it, as I was a regression for me.
While they seem to stick with the IR learning removal (justified by the increased amount of sources in the flex series compared to 2x4hd), they told me that they were in touch with Logitech and that the Flex model and its commands would be added soon to Logitech database.
Always a shame when functionality gets lost.
I was thinking of getting a infrared emitter diode for the RaspberryPi, i could replace all my remotes (7?) with a webpage with plenty of buttons or something.

but...imagine now getting hacked, all those buttons up for crabs.. disco!!
