RE: Best Passive/Active Combination of Crossovers for IIIa's and T 1-D's

The Linear audio mod Davey favors is the most convenient and provides relative level control in the analog and a general remote vol control using a vol contrl chip.

You can probably get the boards and do the installation.

They are the proven audiosmile mods and are sold as DIY kits and would be right up your aley and cheap. There is no vol control mod for the DCX. They use very good op amps, LM4562 and a few other components for the active output.

MSB sells a couple of models of remote controlled multichannel gain and volume control boxes in op amp and discrete component implementations, $1k and $4k (price from memory check first)

Asi Tec Tweakaudio and Reference mods do different mods to the input/output analog sections digital sections and DAC - The tweakaudio mods are available in different combos so you can do a minimal mod of the output stage and DAC sections for not much more than the cost of the DCX. Asi Tec do transformer coupling (those are rather expensive transformers but it is something you can do yourself.

Only the Linear Audio mod adds functionality. It is also less expensive than full on mods of any of the others ($1500-$2500).
