1  Ultimate Audio Playback / Your questions about the PC -> DAC route / Re: using XXHighEnd with Minisharc on: February 02, 2015, 02:07:49 pm
Hi Peter,

thank-you.

I think I confused you again by mentioning my previous experience with KS drivers. This does not apply to my current question. You where correct in your assumption that I used VST for Digital Sound Processing, which was why I used Virtual Audio Cable.

You pretty much have answered my Question. I probably need to experiment with your software and see what challenges I then experience.

Hi Peter,

thank you for the quick reply and warm welcome.

I joined in 2011 and have just started looking at your products again.

Good points in your email. I made some assumptions.lol

The Minisharc details are here:

http://www.minidsp.com/products/opendrc-series/minisharc-kit

This is a flexible DSP module with quite a few input and output options including I2S. I am using the Minisharc to create a digital processor to drive my Linkwitz LX521s. The LX521s are an active 3 way dipole speaker that have traditionally been driven by an analogue signal processor.

http://www.linkwitzlab.com/LX521/Description.htm

The Minisharc has 4 stereo I2S outputs that are connected to a pair of dual Mono Buffalo ESS9018 Dacs for the midrange and individual stereo ESS9023 Dacs for the tweeter and Woofers.

I have a little experience with KS drivers, having used Audio Repeater, Virtual Audio Cable and VST processors in my car PC. Only problem was stability and the need to run lots of scripts to start and stop services, so everything could run well. I felt that the quality improvement was significant, however there where lots of noises and crackles, especially between tracks, with system lock ups from memory overruns ect. Looks like your software addresses a lot of those issues now.

Is it possible to use XXHighEnd software to drive a Minisharc processor?

What would be the best way to do this? The Minisharc has a number of input options, but no USB input.

Cheers

Brad
