miniDSP Flex

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

Digital version only has digital outputs. Analogue versions only have analogue outputs.

MiniDSP FLEX 8 has 2 x digital inputs and 8 x analog outputs.

Right - but only analogue outputs. You can't send analogue to sub and digital to speakers.

Can someone post a picture of the power supply that came with the flex (original flex, not flex 8). I lost mine and would like to know what it looks like to know what to look for... or where can I get a replacement? Thanks

Has anyone ever tried to unse one Flex unit for several rooms/ setups? In theory one could measure each room individually and then create corresponding filter sets and load it to the flex, right?
How would I be able to stream the corrected digital toslink or coaxial signal wirelessly to other rooms? I dont want to lay cables around my place. Any cool ideas?

Have a look at the thread here for some wireless options:

The flex 8 is supposed to get WISA certification soon which is a wireless audio standard

 

[vandubi]

Thank you. Thats exactly what I was looking for.
From what I read, the Marmitek Audio Anywhere 630 might do the job. I cant find any decent reviews though.
I really wish there was some device to stream the PCM Signal via Wifi / DLNA.

Wow, thats really nice. Here some copy pasta from minidsp:
With the Flex Eight + WiSA option, you can transmit high-resolution audio seamlessly and losslessly to up to eight WiSA-certified speakers, including subwoofers. Here is a list of WiSA-certified speakers. Because the Flex Eight also has analog outputs, you can also build a hybrid system (e.g. stereo WiSA speakers and analog out to a subwoofer) or wireless audio to multizones. With its flexible range of digital inputs (Bluetooth/USB/TOSLINK/SPDIF), this tiny box is the easiest way to implement subwoofer integration & Dirac Live room correction...

Why have 8 WiSa outputs with only stereo input? Who needs 6 subs?

Bi amping (or tri amping) speakers, with active crossovers

But the speaker already have all the electronics behind the WiSa receiver. It only needs one channel.

There aren’t really DIY solutions yet, nor stand-alone receivers.

Sorry missed the wisa part of the question. No, can‘t think of anything

Well, B&O has one for about $€£ 200. Obviously made for the B&O ecosystem. You can also buy some naked PCBs that can do it, but those are eval boards, and priced accordingly.

Apparently WiSa only works inside one single room. The signal (5ghz) is not supposed to penetrate through (brick) walls. Thats a bummer!

hm, DBA Users may need it. I have 4 Subs and already thought about adding 4 more...

But you don’t need then all on discrete channels, do you?

 

[withoutsuit]

Well, for multisubpurposes it may be helpful and also for not perfectly placed dba subs (separate delays can solve some issues). Also playing with MSO requires discrete outputs.

Hi, if I've used the DDRC plugin before, but want to setup my flex as a new device without any of the old settings, do I need to use the migration procedure or just set it up as new in the device console? Thx
