Cool I'll try that. So is this the same software you use with the 2 by 4 as well?
Well I haven't heard the result yet.I was referring to the GUI compared to the old one.

There is a bunch of plateamps and rackamps with class d and dsp in all priceranges. If it has FIR filters and automatic roomcorrection (lyngdorf style) then it would be a gamechanger.
Yes but do they have DSP and amps as good as these? Hypex had an older series as well. DSP plate amps aren't new. But ones of this quality are new to my knowledge.
Ahh so this is even compatible with the old plates then right? It's been a couple years since I sold my PSC400's. At the time it was a more rudimentary user interface.
That should be a vast improvement from the DSP chip ADC/DAC on the PSC400 then. But I would still like to know how master clock sync is done when you use the digital inputs. Is there Async reclocker chips on the digital inputs?
The amps should be quite good quality

I like that it has built in Dante, but I have compared the Hypex MP series amps to Pascal and no contest. And there is likely a chance that those plates are more expensive.
I think they will be bloody expensive, the Hypex range will be a little more expensive as the old range.
Yes, but if the DIY will only have adau range of DSP, the AdMark also offer very very inexpensive class d modules with DSP. Their DSP price is arround 40-50$ on top of the amplifier price. You also have MiniDSP with ICEpower, Monacor/IMG have amplifiers with DSP and also with Pascal amplifier modules like Four Audio.
It's not very hard to find a class d amp or plate amp with DSP. I don't say Hypex is not great products. Just say that it's not a game changer

What I would like to see on the Hypex plates is a modular, digital bridge card system with Ravenna option like this here:

I think for 2017 and beyond, being limited to 80's standard digital protocols is a bit limiting. That new Dante Broadway chip is likely only going to be a few bucks a piece. And supposed to sound better than anything they had before. Those four Audio plates still use the old Ultimo cards.

At the end of the day you can't judge by specsheet's alone. You need to listen. I have heard all of the latest Icepower and Pascal M-Pro-2 and they are nowhere near the MP-502. The Icepower 700-AS sounded broken in comparison to the MP502. Maybe after the Iceedge amps are released it will be a different story though.
