Hello Everyone,
Currently I am running a set of powered monitors along side a pair of powered subwoofers in my living room. I am currently lending my Emotiva Stealth DC-1 to take care of pre-amp duties, but I would like to have it back at my desktop. Having measured the setup, the bass needs a bit of work and the treble needs to be tamed as the room is an echo chamber (20 ft. ceilings). I have measured and EQ'd the setup using REW anmd EqualizerAPO, but I would like this EQ to apply to all my sources going to the TV.
Here are some options that I have come up with.
Emotiva PT-100 + MiniDSP 2X4
Random AVR (acting as a pre-amp) + MiniDSP 2x4
MiniDSP 2x4HD
OpenDRC-DA
My biggest worry is the pre-amp, it needs to have a DAC with optical input, have volume control with a remote and I would appreciate a volume level being displayed. Must be family friendly in usage, which my current Stealth DC-1 succeeds at.
Thanks for the help.
