I would like to set up a multi channel system using digital active monitors, the speakers have dac/ad built in, what do I need?
Thanks in advance,

Kal I use Roon Nucleus/software for 2 channel, I guess I need a box that can , implement the correct codec?They have their own DACs. What is your source and can it supply multiple digital outputs, one per channel?
Yes, but Atmos is irrelevant for music.Is the audio equivalent of Atmos ( what is the audio equivalent of Atmos) only available incorporated into an AV prepro?
I do but it is a multichannel DAC. If you use the analog inputs of your speakers it will run off any MCH server, e.g., running Roon or Jriver.You use the Okto 8-channel don’t you Kal?
Yes, the U-dio8 would run up to 8 channels via AES/EBU or via S/PDIF.
Won't the digital input circuitry of the speakers do the splitting of the pairs? They do it in stereo.Yes that MiniDSp unit would work, but I need the bit that splits the signal into left ,right centre, etc
Multiples. The Storm Audio prepro would be ideal but it, too, is pricey $$$$$$............oops, ££££!What is the difference part from price between the Trinnov ‘Altitude’ and. prepro AV from say Denon/Marantz?
If I select a multi-channel recording from Quboz, into the MiniDSP U-D108 then on into the speakers,( I can select left and right from their app ) will ROON sort out the main and injection channels?Yes, but Atmos is irrelevant for music.

This is genelec way. Daisy chained.Yes that MiniDSp unit would work, but I need the bit that splits the signal into left ,right centre, etc.

I strongly disagree. I am only buying immersive discs in 2021Yes, but Atmos is irrelevant for music.
Seems like it, but your use case might be a little different?If I select a multi-channel recording from Quboz, into the MiniDSP U-D108 then on into the speakers,( I can select left and right from their app ) will ROON sort out the main and injection channels?
Thanks everyone, I apologise for the dumb questions.
Keith
I do not know what an injection channel is. The main channels are L, R, C, Sub, Ls, Rs. The U-DIO8 will output the following pairs (L, R), (C, Sub), (Ls, Rs) and, if needed, (Lr, Rr). You can change them all around but there's usually no need to.If I select a multi-channel recording from Quboz, into the MiniDSP U-D108 then on into the speakers,( I can select left and right from their app ) will ROON sort out the main and injection channels?
