miniDSP Flex

[enricoclaudio]

There are not additional features but navigation, UI and patching are improved and definitely more user friendly. Not to mention that you can control all your miniDSP devices with one single app (when 2x4 HD and DDRC-24 are included). BTW, miniDSP Device Console is not on Beta anymore for the FLEX since 3 days ago when miniDSP released the first official Device Console version for the FLEX. miniDSP 2x4 HD is now on the cue for the Beta version.

one new feature of Console is an ability to deactivate some inputs (for example bluetooth, analog...) which are then skipped during switching

Also having Input and Output windows on the same screen is very helpful.

For the second time I try DC on flex, but only get puff sounds when I play music, so once again I go back to CP - there everything works perfectly.

Device Console - the new consolidated replacement for their various 'plugins'. Now rolled out to the SHD series as well as Flex, and others will follow.

Thanks - that explains my confusion. I thought you @HoJ76 were was referencing the DC power supply you were he was talking about a couple of pages back.

you are likely missing drivers somewhere

I have tried with the correct driver... And with help from support - the same problems all the way.

I was planning on using a flex digital as input to Kef LSX plus two subs.

However I just realised subs don't often come with digital input so not sure how to make this work.

The lsx does have a 3.5mm aux input, would an RCA to aux adapter work here?

It would mean an extra ADC conversion but that probably won't make any difference.

Any suggestions on this?

 

[bloodshoteyed]

no, aux 3.5mm is analog
throw a cheap dac between

Better to do that or just use the flex analogue with RCA -> 3.5mm adapter?

I would prefer to retain digital for the LSX, then (as proposed) a cheap dac for the sub.

Can you not mix/match a and d outputs? If not then yes a cheap dac should be plenty fine.
