as well as providing a 3-way XO for my Maggies. :-))
Works very well.
Currently, I'm using a 10x10HD but using the digital input - which enables me to run it at 96kHz. However, I'm about to change to a nanoDIGI; this has digital input and 4 (stereo) digital outputs ... so I will use 4x Topping E30s to give me 8x analogue output channels.
So I get what the 10x10HD gives me now ... but with higher quality DACs.

I also have had good luck with the nanodigi to provide a digital crossover as well as to integrate my subs with my Maggie 1.6's.

Andy: Where do you set the volume in your new setup, nanoDIGI+ 4xTopping E30?
A friend recommend the miniDSP miniSHARC + some DACs.
It will be the same place as now, Roger - after the miniDSP & DACs.
(The new setup is not yet implemented - I have the nanoDIGI but have not yet purchased the E30s.)
Andy
There is a discussion about the E30 on a swedish forum right now. Some are a bit worried about the reconstruction filter, it is not very good.

@Andy
What about analog sources when you go for a nanoDIGI? I remember you had some special turntable.
Initially, I fed the (analogue) output from my preamp into the analogue input of my miniDSP. This meant I had to run the 10x10HD at 48kHz.
A couple of years ago I bought a good A2D converter to digitise my phono stage output ... so I now use the digital input to the miniDSP - which enables me to run it at 96kHz. (The A2D converter can actually run at 192kHz - so I'm hoping the nanoDIGI supports this.)
So I already digitise my vinyl with a better quality input A2D converter than what is in the miniDSP - by moving to the nanoDIGI, I can use higher quality output D2A converters than what miniDSP offers. Of course ... this all comes at a price! :-))
Andy
The nanoDIGI unit is like most of the miniDSP gadgets with digital input and utilizes an ASRC in conjunction with a 96khz sampling rate. So, your 192kHz A/D output will be resampled.
But I don't see any issue with that. There isn't anything being produced by a phonograph record that would require a 192kHz rate...nor a 96kHz one for that matter. :)Dave.

So the nanoDIGI has an internal rate of 96kHz. NP - my A2D converter can select that (to save re-sampling) ... it's what I'm using at present (into my 2x10HD).
Andy
Even though the incoming rate might be 96khz, it will still re-sample. This is an ASRC scheme.
Dave.
