Rpi3+ & camilla for a 3 ways crossover, powerfull enough ?

[diyiggy]

Hello,

I have some basic questions about hardware for active crossover.

Is the Rpi3+ with its 1 Go RAM powerfull enough for active filtering for a 3 ways with Camilla ?

Is it possible to do that crossover job into the Camilla inside Moode ?

Which multichannel dac or system do you use after your Rpi (volume control question also in mind) ?

Thanks

The amount of ram won't be a problem, and the pi3 can easily do an IIR 3-way. FIR should also work if you don't go crazy with sample rate and filter lengths. But if you use a usb DAC, you may have trouble with glitches caused by the not-so-great usb implementation on the pi3 (and pi2 iirc). If you can get hold of a pi4 it's a safer bet.

Hello Henrik and thanks for all your sharing.

I remember that story of usb bus now you talk of it. But Rpi4 are hard to source rigth now, so it is a good news I can start with the Rpi3+ 🙂... I already own.
