Is it possible to use the Motu 624 for a 2.1 system (as a soundcard/DAC)?
I would like to build my own streamer but struggle to find a good 2.1 DAC. I was thinking to use the Motu and 3 of its outputs for the speakers and sub.
In case it works, would I be able to use the Windows volume control?
I have a MOTU 624 and some of the possibilities are pretty interesting. The mixer has a pretty powerful EQ. You could easily implement different crossovers for the sub and mains outputs. You could even loop the outputs back to an Aux in the DSP mixer and view the FFT of the combination to see how the HP and LP were mixing.
The MOTU Audio Tools that are integrated with the device also offer real time FFT, X-Y, oscilliscope, etc. It's pretty fun to play with. Maybe i'll do a loopback test on mine tonight and see how it compares to these measurements. Is a software generated sine wave good enough for testing?
