Topic: ADI-2 DAC Subwoofer Integration
I am a happy user of ADI-2 DAC within my home audio 2-channel system. The ADI-2 DAC provides awsome features with regular software updates, and this forum offers excellent support.
My existing 2-Channel system can be summarised as:
Mac mini with Roon Core -> DSP Convolution Filters -> ADI-2 DAC -> Hypex NC252MP Power Amp -> Harbeth P3ESR Speakers (passive).
I am considering the use of dual subwoofers. Currently, I am using the ADI-2 DAC balanced outputs to connect to my Hypex NC252MP Power Amp. Are there any issues with connecting the ADI-2 DAC unbalanced outputs to the Line-In of dual subwoofers?
Once the physical connections are made, the next challenge will be to measure each speaker and subwoofer with REW. I believe I can achieve this with a manual process of cable disconnection/connection. Are there any issues with this type of procedure?
After making measurements with REW, I would then need to integrate each subwoofer using the subwoofer controls, including :
Level Control / Gain
Crossover (Low Pass)
Delay/Phase and Polarity
Base Extension Filter (High Pass)
Parametric EQ
Another option would be to utilise a product such as miniDSP 2x4 HD that enables many of the above controls to be performed within software. However, the miniDSP 2x4 HD will introduce more hardware as well as ADC / DAC conversions.
Alternatively, RME has many Pro Audio hardware and software solutions. Does anyone have a suggestion for an RME solution that would replicate the features of ADI-2 DAC with the miniDSP 2x4 HD? Perhaps an RME Fireface UC and TotalMix FX?
