MiniDSP 2x4 HD, a USB DAC and DSP in a low cost package powered by a powerful Sharc 400MHz floating point DSP

Product Information

The Streaming HD (SHD) series provides an All in One Audiophile experience at the center stage of your audio system. Equalization – the DSP is used to alter the frequency response of the audio signal, to improve the listening experience

The UMIK-2 is a calibrated USB measurement microphone with 32bit/44.1~192kHz internal converters and interchangeable 1/2" low noise floor capsules.

PC Setup: SoundblasterX G6 DAC -> JDS Labs Atom Headphone Amp -> Sennheiser HD560s & AKG K702 & Hifiman HE4XX & NAD HP50 & Sennheiser HD600 all EQ'd to Harman Curve. IEM: TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero.

Digital room correction – the DSP corrects errors in the audio signal caused by the acoustics of the room The miniDSP team built long term relationships with the following leading software applications and is proud to showcase them as our recommeded software solutions: miniDSP products are audio processors, with two or more audio input channels and two or more audio output channels. Inputs and outputs might be digital or analog, depending on the specific product. Typical applications include: Did you also test the second output? People seem to have meassured significantly worse performance. In this application note, we will show you how to integrate a subwoofer with your existing loudspeakers by using a miniDSP 2x4 HD/Flex. You can use an existing preamp, or replace a preamp and a DAC with the miniDSP 2x4 HD/Flex. (In the latter case, you will need to program a remote control to adjust volume in the miniDSP 2x4 HD.)The supplied remote control allows you to eliminate any need for a preamplifier and drive a power amp directly. With in-house engineering and manufacturing, we're at the digital audio forefront and keep growing our large community. Some people have an analog only path (e.g. for turntables) and would still want to implement active speakers and/or equalization for room modes. Let's see how we do here: With multiple digital inputs and eight unbalanced analog output channels, the miniDSP Flex Eight can implement active speakers up to stereo four-way. Flexible 2x8 signal routing supports many other configurations such as two-way, three-way and multiple subwoofers. As always, a full suite of miniDSP’s tried and proven audio processing functionality is included: FIR filters and parametric EQ on the input channels, and parametric EQ, crossovers, advanced biquad programming and delay on each output channel. Please look at the power supply table in our replated blog post to see which power supply to choose for the DSP module.
