In Reply to: RE: But a DSP Speaker... posted by PAR on March 20, 2020 at 02:27:31
Many DSP-based speakers have digital inputs as well, so the entire chain up to amplifier conversion stays in the digital domain.

Yes Doug. So I just keep my transport and discard my dCS Vivaldi DAC because it is obvious that the $10 chip in the speaker is going to be just as good :-).
As I said, another can of worms.
KEF introduced this concept (albeit sans DSP) back in the 1990s. A huge success. Not.

I don't understand - what's the can of worms?
BTW, active has long been considered a good idea, but audiophiles have traditionally resisted it for varying reasons. But with modern DSP, designers like Kii and D&D and others are putting elements into designs that couldn't have been done years ago. It's made it a very compelling proposition if real performance is what you're after.
