Hi, I'm new to this forum and hope you forgive my mistakes.
I'm a old audiophile who wants to upgrade his (now) simple system (Oppo BD95 + Pass Labs amp + Magnepan MG 3.3) to multi amping. As everybody says Magnepans should sound better in multiamping (maybe all of the loudspeakers do) and I decided to try it.
After looking for a decent analogue crossover (Bryston 10B had "slight reduction in depth and a bit of an increase in electronic edginess " according to Stereophile, Marchands all have OpAmps, Pass XVR-1 is out of my budget, diy projects don't seem to work properly...) I moved my attention to digital crossovers.
My intention was to split the signal in 3 or 4 bands without extra ADC/DAC conversions, and I read your enthusiastic comments about OktoDac Pro.
Now the question is : since the OktoDac Pro is just a 8channels converter, what kind of digital crossover should I use to feed it? A standalone unit with 4 digital exits and 1 coax entry? Or should I look for a multichannel audio board for my computer which exits with 4 AES/EBU connectors? Or...what?
As you see I haven't got so much experience as "digital" audiophile...
