Ah well, I was thinking my speakers needed just a little lift of some
sort, slightly sweeter in the mids maybe.
I started to look into upgrading the passive crossover components,
changing the capacitors etc, or rebuilding the whole crossover.

Ah ha, so it can be done that is wonderfull, but, splitting the 2
channels to 4, pcm will loose some sound quality? even if the same
amount of music information is there, just because it it split into 4
channels rather than 2 some quality will be lost, am I understanding
that right?

What henry is sugesting is using AC3 aka Dolby Digital (or DTS) .
In this case a single SPDIF ch can carry 5.1 or 6ch channels as a dolby
or DTS bitstream .
But it is a lossy format both dolby and dts or similar to mp3 and other
lossy formats in that it sacrifies some soundquality.
I have no
Yes, DD, DTS, that is what I was thinking could be used, but was unsure
how, nice to know it can be done, but it did not occur to me that one
would loose some sound quality in doing so.
Yes, I was wondering if a digital crossover could be implemented in
slimserver some how.
I read that a nice
Spdif is an old ca 1979 standard, it is simply not made for this
aplication it is probaly not technically hard to do nowadays it's
simply not in the protocoll hence not suported by any ic etc.
There exist other propriotary and pro standards for multichannel
pcm.
My meridian gear have it's
Ah, that is more than likely why it has not been done already, and why I
could not find any information on how to do it.
I guess Meridian found their own way around it.
HDMI, hmmm my processor is pre HDMI, good job really, as I can't
program and spare time... what is that? ;-)
So it looks
You can do this, but NOT with SB gear. You need a multichannel (at least
4) soundcard that can put out parallel spdif streams.
If you really want to use digital crossovers and SB's, get a DCX2496
and forget about server-side crossovers (but you can use Inguz for
DRC).
If you want server-side
This Behringer DCX2496 unit is susprisingly cheap :)

Cheers Phil for the confirmation of, no go with the SB, and the other
possible options :-)
Ah yes, the DCX2496 is rather reasonable, quite tempting to have a
punt, but in reading more noticed it's analogue inputs are converted to
digital and then back to analogue, I may guess, this could degrade
the Dcx also has a digital input.
Oh it has 24bit adc for analog signals ,but some the tricks it performs
is only feasible in the digital domain ? and if one looks at the total
performance, passive fillters still sucks AND analog active fillters
are not free from artifacts either, once in the
Hi,
Just starting to try and understand all the different speaker crossover
options.
It seems to make sence to me to have something like an inguz plugin
that can filter frequencies in the digital domain, split them to hi and
lo and left and right and run the pcm to, and out of, a SB, and into a
Split each channel into a separate WAV file.
Then use the free 'wav2ac3 encoder' (http://wav2ac3.sourceforge.net) to
encode multiple channels to AC3.
Then use the techniques in 'this thread'
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19260) to encapsulate
them for S/PDIF.
(After that I
A spdif interface can only carry 2ch of pcm audio ( lossy bitstreams is
another story )
