Someone asked "Are there any reviews or comparisons against more common DACs that could push me over the edge?".
I replied. We moved on from there, haven't hijacked anything.
Sorry, i hadn't seen that. No one sent me an alert to tell me i had been told off.
Please warn other members not to ask about comparisons with other products or someone else might reply with non-Hypex related replies.
Rick,
Alerts shouldn't be necessary. And smart aleck replies are not either. 🙂
One post would have been sufficient. But, you continued and offered some commentary on both platforms.....neither of which (by the way) you've either owned/used/heard. 🙂
No firsthand experience doesn't necessarily render comments moot on this forum, but for those who haven't established a good reputation, it does minimize their impact quite a bit.
Cheers,
Dave.

Does anyone have the following information:
* Pinout of the analog/digital input header (J2)
* Pinout of the IO header (J3)
* Control codes or protocol documentation for the IO header
I have now ordered a DLCP but I would like to squeeze it into a much smaller chassis than the usual input board would allow. I would like to use my own inputs, and control everything with an arduino microprocessor, so I need to understand what the protocol is to control input selection and volume.
Thanks,
Edward

Hi Edward,
The pinout of all connectors can be found in the datasheet, which can be found on our website.
Please contact me at jan-willem at hypexpro dot com for further information about the protocol.

Very nice ds23man! The front looks awesome. How was it done?
Hope you will comment about the soundquality and use of software soon. 😉

Great job ds23man!
Would it be possible to see the internal view of the front pannel? Did you use a plastic transparent cover for the LCD pannel?

It has not been hooked up yet, still have to finish my speakerproject ( B&G RD-50 with JBL 2235 15"). The low cabinets have to made first....
You can always try using it in your existing system as a 2 channel (L & R) DAC
or as a 'piece of string' - insert it as if it were an interconnect, with processing on the signal
or as a 'piece of string' - insert it as if it were an interconnect, with processing on the signal
That's what I did when I tried out DEQX HDP-4 and GroundSound DCN28. Hooked them up to passive speakers and tried both analogue inputs (using an external DAC) and digital inputs. That enabled me to get an impression of both the preamp and D/A section.
None of them matched my Lynx Two-B soundcard in terms of transparency by the way.
The Dlcp and Ncore's are intergrated in the Grimm LS 1:
Grimm Audio - LS1
So it will sound ok I think................

I think so too. Grimm speakers with Ncore was the most transparent and open sounding speakers at the Munich show to my ears.
I'm trying now to figure out if I can use the DLCP for my need. I'm a total beginner at this and need help (read to be feed with teaspoon). I've gotten custom using miniDSP which I found easy even for a novice like me.
With the DLCP I'm however quite lost. I don't even understand how to start entering high-pass and low-pass properly..... I've sent a mail to Hypex with some questions, but wanted to ask something here too.
I already have the settings (crossover and EQ) for my speakers and don't need to measure from scratch. I will only measure room response later and then possibly make my own changes.
If someone want to take a look at my settings they are found in this manual on page 81-82:
http://www.parts-express.com/pedocs/manuals/301-980-audio-artistry-inc-cbt36k-manual-9148.pdf
I don't know if there's anything to be improved when it comes to filters and EQ of drivers, but speak out if anyone believes differently. They speakers use linear phase as is mentioned in the manual:
For global correction (getting the correct response) I can either add seven EQ settings (low-shelf and high-shelf) or use biquad settings I used in miniDSP. Does the DCLP have the same biquad possibilty as miniDSP? If so, how exactly is this added?
What type of remote can be used with the DLCP? I can't see this mentioned anywhere. Under options I see it's possible to choose "OneForAllRem" or "Hypex Remote". Is Hypex Remote something on the way?
What quality PSU is recommended to use with the DLCP? I have Ncore with SMPS600 and Abletec ALC1000 amps with SMPS' as well.
