Hi PaulF70

Answer to your question is....maybe.

Analog "full-range in" to analog "2-way out" requires first: input conversion to digital, then digital crossover procession and then two way digital/analog -out conversion again.
Steep slopes and time delay on different outputs complicates matters in an analog "line stream" of signal.
This will never be the ideal way to crossover digitally.

The beauty, efficiency and stunning results digital XO´s can achieve, can only be realized in full when within the digital domain; i.e. when a digital file gets computed in chunks (in a digital buffer) and output sampled together in two or more D/A converters.

This does not really work as a time-dependent signal.

DEQX is not ideal when fed an analog signal, but close to the best when you want a digital XO for analog input. For example using a turntable in your setup.

Digital XO´s work best in digital only setups.

Hope it clarifies things.
Welcome to broaden the subject.

Kind regards Leif
