Duh whats "digital VC" is it some digital cossover or what :) I have the followong SqueezeBox to an input card in my G68J HT processor this input card has some hardware based SRC to 24/96 then internally all the DSP features and room correction and tone controlls is done within some 48bit floating piont space . The out to the speakers in some Meridian propriotary format MHR similar to Spdiff probably a full scale integer 24 bit and metadata for volume etc goes separately with another link . Then the speaker has an digital xover , how volume is handled i dont know most likely in the digital domain with some ditherering ? But the main bottle neck I think is the SRC at the input ,but it cant hurt to give all the DSP and xover some headroom . If have strange interest i sometimes to listen to "music" with all kinds of wierd elements ,nothing like Dr0 yet ,he he -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
