On several occasions I've fired up my PC, started playing music, and found EqAPO lacking a "binding" to the currently active active device in Windows. I have two GPU's (each with 3x DP and 1x HDMI) and motherboard video (one more HDMI). So I have a bucketload of audio ports. I've found the "mappings" between the audio device in Windows and the physical port are not always stable. Driver updates, changing BIOS settings, anything that alters which display card Windows sees as "primary" and therefore places the logon screen, etc etc.

I'm only using EqAPO for sub/main xover so the consequences aren't as great. But if I'd been using EqAPO for woofer/tweeter xover with no protection cap I'd have killed 3-4 tweeters by now.
I agree. I use a 30uF cap on my ribbon tweeter to protect it against mishaps in the software Xover. This has saved the tweeters multiple times (mainly user error).
 
Hello
can you tell me which linux ARM64 players(single board computer) are compatible for multichannel playback
thanks .other than roon and audirvana

Thank you
 
I'll have to repost my question. I saw in the thread that multichannel WAVs play back perfectly via android to the DM7. Did anyone try to do internal decoding of dolby/dts with the shield and output it over USB to a DM7?

I can report that multichannel MKV, DSF, Flac, WAV and DFF files will play from an android Samsung tablet, using varied applications (VLC and Foobar 2k). I truly love the DM7. Except for some really ridiculously crazy "thick" PCM and DSD\DFF files (above DSD128 or PCM 192), it handles everything.
