MS-3 and dspMusik in MI are up and running.

Waiting on feedback as a HiRez music playback system.

HAL

Feedback from MI is "Well it doesn't suck!"  :thumb:

Packing for Axpona is completed.  The MS-3 and dspMusik will be arriving in Chicago on Thursday.  Bringing a full balanced cable set to try if anyone is interested.  It already has RCA outputs if needed. 

Will be trying out Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit on that MS-3, since it is my development machine.  Will be interesting to try running the system from the Surface via Remote Desktop.

Nice introduction article from Steven Stone on crossovers:

At woodsyi's doing software install on his CAPS2 Music Server to run the dspMusik.

Modular 6x12" servo sub arrays in H-Frame style OB.  They are stacked 1x12"s to make them easy to move and then bolt together.

Each column uses a Rythmik HX800 amp for the 6 drivers.

Ok, where can I get a pair and how much?

" It doesnt suck" is a bit of an understatement.

I wished I didnt have to pack it all up and take it to Chicago for Axpona but I do.

As a DAC it was very very clean. with all the HiRez and DSD files I had time to play I was hearing things I had never caught before.

 Wished I had time to play with the Xover part of it as the ML or LS6's would have been a lot of fun.

HAL

sandbagger,
Glad the setup worked well for you. 

See you in Chicago!

I thought the HX800 was for use in sealed configuration, obviously it can be used in OB as well?

HAL

That was recommended for the OB large setup.

Made it to Chicago.  Will have the MS-3 and dspMusik today for checkout.

Are you exhibiting? I'll be there Friday afternoon if all goes well.

HAL

No, but you never know after hours.

No, but you never know after hours.

More info than we needed :lol:

HAL

Not that kind of exhibiting!

Yikes!

Reading the evils of crossover thread is interesting.

With help, I put together a Dayton Audio 8" full range driver in a U frame, with 3x8" servo subs.  Listening to the system without any correction for the full range driver was pretty bad.  Using the MS-3 and dspMusik crossover, I did simple corrections to flatten the response of the full range, and measure to integrate it with the servo subs. 

If anyone tells me it sounds better before the crossover, I would show the them difference.  Not even close, and sounds much better corrected.

HAL

The MS-3 and dspMusik made it to Chicago. 

Fun starts tomorrow morning at the show.

HAL

First day of Axpona. Already seeing old friends and catching up.
