Currently I have a 2 channel system with a stereo Topping DAC (d50s), dual mono Hypex amp(Audiophonics HPA-S250NC) and 2 klipsch speakers(RP-8000F).
I want to add one, ore two, DIY subwoofers in the mix, powered by another Hypex amp.
I want to have DSP functionality to suppress room modes and get the subs to overtake the speakers without being noticible.
I am hesitant to buy a standard DSP unit because I am afraid that the extra conversion will cost me sound quality.
So I want to prevent the following conversion:
(DAC) digital to analogue, (DSP) analogue to digital, apply DSP, digital to analogue.
Only way to get around that is to eliminate the Topping DAC and buy a 4-channel DSP unit that is also a source selector and streamer, and ofcourse a good DAC. I also want to have XLR outputs.
I already found the perfect product for my needs: the MiniDSP SHD.
Are there more product I can choose from?
I think the SHD is pretty expensive, this is preventing me too pull the trigger and buy
-2* Dayton Audio RSS315HFA-8 12"
-1* Audiophonics HPA-S500NC
-1* MiniDSP SHD
I dont 100% need it to be a streamer, i am happy to stream spotify to the TV or PC that can be connected to the DSP unit.
Any suggestions would be awesome, Also regarding the sub drivers or Hypex amp
