What's the differences between them regarding the sound(not build quality etc)What is SQ?
With the Bluesound Node, internal DAC is not used with digital out (because you stay digital. No need to convert to Analogue there).Sorry for the question
But the KH150 has a built in DAC, is it possible to bypass the WiiM Pro's internal DAC so you don't double convert the signal?
Unfortunately the Bluesound Node is too expensive for me, so I'm looking for something similar for less $$$With the Bluesound Node, internal DAC is not used with digital out (because you stay digital. No need to convert to Analogue there).
But correct me if i'm wrong.
Why is it easier ?You would be missing one way.
It's far easier to intergrate subs with 3-ways than with 2-ways.
Sorry but you are totally wrong here my friend. I get perfect integration between my KH150s + Rythmik Audio E22 subwoofer using a MiniDSP FLEX TRS with Dirac Live. In fact, you get better integration using a MiniDSP FLEX than using Neumann’s MA1 app/mic. I have tried both and ended returning the MA1 mic. The MA1 app is too buggy.I think it would be a huge mistake to try to pair KH310's with any other manufacturer's sub. Why would one do this? Neumann has carefully crafted their monitors and subs to work together. No other sub is going to integrate as well.
I know how you mean it, and i agree, that other subwoofers can work well, but to clarify for people who don't know your setup: Of course Dirac works better than MA1, if you use Rythmik subs instead of the Neumann KH750 sub.Sorry but you are totally wrong here my friend.

You did not compare
150+750+MA1 vs 150+E22+Dirac, but
150+E22+MA1 vs 150+E22+Dirac.
If i had time i would try Dirac with my 310+750 setup again and test it against the 310+750+MA1, but i do not. Maybe if they release DLBC at some point.
+1I think you can have a great result with any good subwoofer is you use the correct tool to match them up. There is not such a thing as good match for same brand drivers... the hk750 is a good deal if you haven't an external dsp already. For those who have one, there is others sub to think about. Adam sub 10, focal sub one etc.
Lower xover freq (so the sub works as it is intended to work),lower stress for mid,no classical 100-200Hz dip,possibly lower IMD,etc.Why is it easier ?
Can you set up DSP on the 150 out the box or do you need to buy the add on MA1 thingy?
No one forgets the fact that are made to compliment each other.I think that some people are forgetting the Neumann DSP function in the KH750 and how this integrates with the Neumann monitors.
The KH 150's use very sophistocated DSP in their design. A good bit of their goodness - ie flat frequency response and low distortion - is a result of the use of DSP. The MA1 is a precision microphone and software that can be used to tailor the KH150's to the specific room.Can you set up DSP on the 150 out the box or do you need to buy the add on MA1 thingy?
Aren’t you in the market for top of the line Genelec? How can Node be too expensive?Unfortunately the Bluesound Node is too expensive for me, so I'm looking for something similar for less $$$
Like the WiiM Pro
Assuming it is the same as KH80, DSP parametric EQ can be accessed via an iPad app when the speaker is connected to the network via Ethernet. MA 1 is not required for that.Can you set up DSP on the 150 out the box or do you need to buy the add on MA1 thingy?
