Audioweaver supports crossovers up to 10th order and they are very easy to implement too ! Not only that, they are computationally efficient and can run at 192KHz 😉

I think I have found my Christmas present: the miniDSP 4x10 HD!
Cookiemonster; would having the Volume 'post DAC' mean having an 8-ganged pot to control all the outputs? I apologize if this is a dumb question, I am very new to this.

Hi David;
Just read your last post, thank you! I must be careful not to fall for the mini without doing all my homework. The price ($499 US) seemed tolerable. I am hoping to keep this below $1000 Canadian, it's just too many new shoes I have to buy for the wife...I will investigate Audioweaver, but I was impressed by the crossover section of the miniDSP 4x10 HD-- selectable slope up to 48 db/octave.

I hope they will license MQA for DSP crossovers?
Would be nice to have MEMS oscillators for fifty cents 🙂

Our design uses the 32bit digital volume control built into the Esstech ES9028PRO DAC. No problems with channel matching, wiper noise and wear because it's non existent. It's also fully remote controllable so no clunky and noisy motors. Even at 16 bits of attenuation you still have the full redback resolution of a CD. Not only that we can provide a full color graphics QVGA LCD display of volume and other status 🙂
cheers

Hi David;
129 db DNR! wow! But is there a finished product that uses this module? I am not up to building a unit

What about 64 - band EQ with some control similar to Audyssey, instead of "tube-like" distortions that don't add tube-like absence of audible distortions?
The tube emulator is a plugin that works in 2/8 channel Preamp mode along with other plugins such as soft clipping, precision 32 bit signal generator etc. The 64-Band EQ I was able to do one channel with Audioweaver but it was pushing it at 192KHz but still I did not have to write one line of code 😉

Waiting for a 64-band EQ. ;-)
Instead of soft clipping there would be better to have a latching compressor - limiter.

There is. Look above in the attached image. I just implemented one in Audioweaver. Audioweaver also has many different types of compressors and limiters.

David, you would need a DAC with 192dB dynamic to achieve that.
ESS' built in volume control is nice but not magic 😉
David, I assume with audio weaver we can import Eq from REW or use FIR filters or banks of biquads we can import etc?
Yes in theory you should be able to do that but the data format may be different between the two so may need some massaging.
cheers
Be good to see some demos of how stuff works in due course with some how to instructions for working with REW, rephrase, open DRC etc so potential customers can see it working.
Can audio weaver automate any of the process of room correction which may appeal to those wanting to use this high end solution without the learning curve.
It would be good to think about OEMs a bit as well, so if someone wanted to implement a pair of active speakers with your hardware and amps built-in how could they offer an end user the ability to load say different curves or room Eq wirhoit giving them access all the other goodies that they could make a mess of things with in audio weaver.
Good to see this getting closer.

there are some examples of audioweaver on youtube.
It doesn't automate the room correction process. This is something that may require a dedicated app to achieve. However audioweaver allows you to customize the DSP as though you were writing the DSP code yourself. This seems to be in the spirit of what diy wants to achieve with DSP without the burden of thoroughly understanding the underlying hardware.
Perhaps you can give us the benefit of your experience and insight with some of these packages so I can see what needs to be done.
cheers
Most room correction systems use a process where a correcting (inverse) impulse response is generated from a measured impulse response. Then the correcting impulse response is used to convolve the input (music) signal to correct for room and system as much as possible. Audioweaver seems to have a convolution engine, so it would appear to be possible to load the correcting impulse response into it.
It's not an automated system, but this is DIY...

Hm, some "public" FIR modules (and possible other types of predefined modules) and the rest is only accessable for the OEM.
Don't know if audioweaver provides this. I'm suprised if it doesn't
