Just a idea that would probably be criticized. Maybe best left for a different thread.
Well I suppose I can tell you guys the real motive for my interest in these plates.
My wife recently gave me an ultimatum. She says either I go, or the cables and boxes in my hifi rig go. So I asked her, if I can just keep the speakers in the room only, if she would stay. She said only if the cables connecting to them were very thin, and less than 1m long between them and the wall. So at this point I knew if our relationship was to last, the only solution was to go with an AES67 based plate amp. Since I'm a dyed in the wool Hypex fanboy going back some 10 years now, I knew there was only 1 solution to keep my marriage alive. Which is why I started this thread.

Just because something functions, doesn't mean it does a good job. The bonus with AES67 is nothing is clocked until at the endpoint.

Just curious to know if you have finished your DEQX work-a-like using raw DSD processing ? Must sound better than anything else heh
cheers

Don't have everything ready yet
The huge difference is the clock sync, and the fact that the unit spits out the I2S directly without any intermediate conversations in the middle. Reclocking is just a bandaid to help with jitter, but it's not a cure all. With AES67 the audio doesn't see any clocking until the endpoint. This allows using a single clock with no PLL's at all to clock everything. Also if you use fiber optic Ethernet PHY's, there no possible way for any upstream noise to make it into the system.
Where can I find a Roon RAAT board that spits out I2S directly? With hands on experience with these boards, the sonic advantages become very clear.
I read the details about this unit. All it does is allows longer runs of AES/EBU. You still need an AES/EBU source. And I can just imagine the jitter it adds. It's not made for quality, it's just made to work.
Here's an example of a similar cabinet design. But that one used wooden dowels and glue. My new system uses steel rods and bolts with no glue. I have a cutout on the back of the woofer cabinet for the Hypex 2.400D plates.

Now, this is damn interesting.The Fusion series will have 8 models in total; there will be 1-way, 2-way and 3-way models based on Ncore technology and DSP based on adau1701.
The Fusion series will be available for OEM and DIY (Fusion...).
Hope this helps to get things clear
Finally, a good plate amp, workable with a three-way system.
Almost everything around is two-way stuff, so you need a double set of amp in each speaker.
