Dear KaiS;
I have all day thought of your advise which cables I would need:
QUOTE
ADI-2 to sub: TS to RCA, connected to ADI-2 Pro‘s TRS/TS rear outputs.
Sub to main amp: RCA to RCA.

However I only now fully understand what you had proposed:
1. connect the RME DAC's Main Line 1/2 OUT (on the rear) TS 6.35 mm R+L <> Velodyne's RCA/CINCH Line-IN R+L
2. connect Velodyne's RCA/CINCH Line-OUT R+L <> Hegel H20's RCA/CINCH Line-IN R+L
I trust that my above verbatim description represents your proposed connection setup, with the advantage that your setup would avoid phasing problems, as the built-in crossover of the Velodyne exepectedly would avoid such phasing problems.
My plan was:
1. connect the RME DAC's Main Line 1/2 OUT (on the rear) TS 6.35 mm R+L <> Velodyne's RCA/CINCH Line-IN R+L (identical to your proposition)
2. connect the RME DAC's XLR Main Line 1/2 OUT (on the rear) R+L <> Hegel H20's XLR Line-IN R+L.
My understanding is that in de RME DAC the settings for each of the Main Line 1/2 OUT XLR R+L AND for the Main Line 1/2 OUT RCA/CINCH R+L can be separately and independently configured, i.e. also for crossover, slope in dB/Octave, phasing etc.
The latter, my plan, would allow to exploit the plethora of sophisticated setting options of the RME DAC, also with regard to crossover settings and phasing. Probably this could be a pretty time consuming process. Hopefully the very new ADI-2 Remote desktop application could possibly make this process much less time consuming and much more user friendly
I assume that with your proposed setup, the Velodyne's phasing can be changed (0, 90, 180, 270) as required, which is expectely not possible under my planned setup.
I wanted to share with you my deliberations, only after I fully grasped what your proposal encompassed. You may wish to share your opinion on my above conclusions and understanding of this particular theme. I would much appreciate.
Kind regards,
