Asking more money for less engineering effort
How would I feed them digitially? Can Roon push to them?No compromise would be to feed all the Genelecs digitally. That is also a far cheaper solution.
It seems that the ISP1 AVR mentioned in voodoo's post can send multichannel digital on aes/ebu. I believe Trinmov Altitude can do that too. None are cheap by any stretch but they seem to do it all: Atmos, Auro, Dirac, multi subs, Roon, etc.How would I feed them digitially? Can Roon push to them?
But music first.
Question: what exactly would that be? Like what is the cable/protocol for "digital" going into the Genelec active stuff?
Hey all, ASR newbie here, and I'm SO glad I found you all.

Something like the minidsp udio8 could work.
A much cheaper HTPC/laptop will do the same work with JRiver, using perfect multichannel USB out (then to AES using miniDSP UDIO8). Depending on how important video is for you, JRiver includes also very advanced video features (though the computer needs to be quite powerful to be able to exploit those).Yep. Unfortunately, full digital outputs are only available in the highest of the high-ends.
There needs to be a paradigm change.

Have Amir build it for you,he owns Madrona Digital.Yes, like it says in the title (Music and Home Theater), I'm trying to build something that does both.
But music first.
I'm getting pretty excited that I might be able to get away with a Roon server, which I already have, sending to the Storm MK2 processor which I can get with digital outputs!
