If you are going the active route, I would suggest miniDSP. I already played with DCX2496 and its a good option. I takes Digital input so no loss their and it'll be one D to A conversion i.e. in DCX. I also should warn you that it is addictive and fun but getting it right and settling down on a sound is very difficult. It is endless tweaking, because you are drawn into making every recording sound right that gets to infinitum. -- MediaCenter Source Device: Transporter Amplifiers: Tri-Amped NAD C272 x 3 Speakers: x-Statik Passive Crossover Removed Crossover: Active MiniDSP x 2 (3 Way) Pre-amplifier: NAD C162 Room Correction applied using REW ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MediaCenter's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32623 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88011 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
