current home stereo setup
boxes from top to bottom:
dcx2496 digital crossover. modified to have 2 spdif digital outs (instead of balanced analog outs)
a 1U chassis that I repurposed to being the housing of 2 ebay AK4399 chip based DACs. each DAC is sent a high or low crossover-filtered spdif stream and it creates a stereo analog out that I then feed into a volume control and amplifier.
silver chassis with lcd display is my cirrus cs3318 DIY multichannel volume control with remote. its still hand-made proto boards inside. vol control is via analog but controlled via IR and front panel knobs/buttons.
bottom big box is a commercial multichannel amp. line-in at rca level and spkr-out. this directly drives some DIY 2-way zaph audio L18 spkrs. woofer and tweeter each get their own private amp channel and wiring.
the DAC box was done recently on a laser cutter and the white lettering is in-filled using acrylic paint. that part is slowly done by hand.
the 2 middle boxes are ones I built and designed; the top and bottom are commercially buyable boxes.
