I think the Lynx should be fine - I'm pretty sure someone that has posted to Thuneau's forum uses one. It might be worth registering or at least dropping an email to Jan to be sure.I've been playing around with digital xovers for years - my first BruteFir system was somewhere around 6-8 years ago. I've looked at the Foobar stuff, the convoluted VST setup ShinObiwan from DIYAudio tried etc. IMHO the Allocator is 'IT'. Everything you need, nothing you don't, it's relatively cheap and it works. Okay, almost everything you need - if you want to do DRC based room correction, you still need Console and a convolver (the SRC convolver works and is free).
I'm using it with an Emu 1820M, and have nothing but good things to report.
Follow Ups:
On page 23 of the user guide under the FAQ section, it asks if it can be used as a "live music" loudspeaker processor.It basically says NO.
Am I correct to assume that if I want to use my cards analog or digital inputs, this thing is not going to function as a crossover...working only on sounds that are "played back"?
No - it will work fine with any input. It runs off the first ASIO input, and you simply use the routing utility in the soundcard driver to assign a particular physical input to the ASIO in.
The problem in using Allocator in a live setting is that the full Allocator includes a phase-correction element that works using fixed 8192 sample blocks. This imposes some delay in the signal that is generally not tolerated in live settings.The 'allocator lite' does not include this phase correction step, and so the delay can be minimized.
If you're planning to use an external input in the context of a video system, you'll want to use the 'lite' version. For pure audio applications, the delay from the full version shouldn't be an issue.
