...Continued from "ASUS xonar U7 and W10 APO DSP measurements" thread.
The soundcard is already ordered, and should be shipped tomorrow (arrival thursday or wednesday).

Got the soundcard.
The good:
price is very good.
Construction and looks of this beast is very nice. Heavy-ish, metal, sturdy, nice box.
Output is clean, free of noise.
The bad:
Cannot setup it up The routing of the channels doesn´t work as expected.
I want to play stereo content, then upmix it into three our four channels, process it with EqualizerAPO, and then get it to the soundcard. Seems I can´t upmix it. No idea what´s wrong. Got only about a week to find out, otherwise the card goes...

Okay, got some (weird) upmix by setting 5.1 in windows control panel and choosing upmix profile of the EqualizerAPO. Three independently processed channels + group processing, yeah baby! 🙂
This one usually costs multiples of the price of this soundcard.
Now I can make a measurement loop tool, and try some measurements. Not sure about the mixing though, as it´s not very intuitive. Any help on setuping this (generally) appreciated. Next stop: The measurements....

First result:
Internal loop of the soundcard using RMAA.

I have problem doing the outer loop - it seems that in the mixer both input channels of the soundcard get the same signal from just ONE output, so there is huge crosstalk. Cannot figure it out. Every channel is MUXed separately....
If anyone is after REW measurements, please let me know (and help what to do, as I don´t understand this SW).

As seen in the measurement, there is stereo crosstalk problem. Cannot get rid of it. I believe it´s not the hardware though. There are prolonged moments when it´s okay while looking at the measurement, but most of the time, the problem is there. With higher samplerate, it gets significantly worse. Except for this problem, the setup would be ready for measurement. If there is any idea on how to continue with the diagnostic of this problem, I would be in dept... 🙂
Finally, I got the setup about right.
Here is first valid measurement (analog path, symmetrical cables loopback)
