Right.  What about answering the question?

Look interesting. It would function like a preamp, correct? Forgive my ignorance, but I'm assuming you would need an amp for each channel.

I did. I said "lots of people". If you need names, read the thread on diyaudio.com.

Not interested.  I already own(ed) one.

At this point I'm interested in anything Hypex does.

i'd be interested if it could do 4-channel x-over/dsp processing.

FWIW I've been told by the end of the year it will happen.   :D
Title: Re: Hypex DLCP Interest?
Post by: Hank on 3 Sep 2012, 09:48 pm
I'd be interested - hopefully it won't be as expensive as the Ncores, and won't be more expensive than the Marchand solution, but considering the source, I don't hold out much hope for inexpensive.

I have one of the DLCP development units.  It works pretty well and is a lot of fun.

I'm not sure what the price will be when/if it finally hits the market, but that will be the key.

Well, I am pretty excited about it and really do hope it happens by year end.   :hyper:

Anyone know if there are any commercial offerings planned for this (preferably with a beta program :green:)?

Post by: Bjorn on 28 Oct 2012, 05:40 pm
Those of you that have tried a unit, can you please share something? How does it sound compared to a high quality (transparent sounding) DAC and preamp? Is the software stable and gives enough options?

I think for those that have tried it have had a version that is completely different than what is coming.

Six channels seems like a strange number. Well, I guess that would be 5.1

Looking forward to seeing what you guys (Jason) do with this, I know you've probably already ordered, please keep us thoroughly updated with in depth posts when it arrives.  :thumb:

I was assuming that six channels of amplification would be for a stereo pair of 3-way active speakers?

Not much to document as it's just going to replace my DCX.  Still waiting on the other parts & pieces though.

Yes, it seems incomplete in terms of details, and maybe also, features.  As Jon posted on HTG:
Quote
Looks like it's the start of a release of material/modules, but a lot of details are hazy- output volume control? It supports an IRDA input- What are the remote protocols? Is there an off of the shelf remote that would work with it? Ganging multi-channel volume controls together? (they do apparently intend it to directly interface with UCD and NCORE amps- this implies a built in digital or analog volume control). Converters? DSP bit depth? Software to support programming? Types of filters offered? This looks more like a core board for an OEM, not a DIY hobbyist. And that would still require a healthy application manual to support, this data sheet doesn't even start.

The main issue I personally see with this kind of product, is just how good is the A/D and D/A? Clocks, etc.

Unfortunately, no.  I've been crazy busy with work and with other hobby projects.   :D  It's on my list though but not top priority as what I'm using (DCX) is fine for bass management of my (4) subs and that's all I'm going to use it for.  I just wanted an all Hypex setup and to have the "best" that I could have.  It will happen.

I am trying to persuade the queen to increase from one sub to two. 

What is the cutoff frequency and the slope ?

Post by: jtwrace on 8 Jul 2013, 11:14 pm
All the parts have arrived!  Now I need to figure out what I'm going to do for a case and then figure it all out.   :o  The hardest part is going to be finding the darn time for this project along with all my other hobbies/projects.

Thanks for the photos.
I'm just wondering how all those XLR connectors get their pin #1 connected directly to the chassis.
