MiniDSP 2x4 HD, a USB DAC and DSP in a low cost package powered by a powerful Sharc 400MHz floating point DSP

Product Information

Not only do you have a suite of digital input but also analog. More importantly, you can rote any input to any output and apply crossover, parametric EQ filters and compression. The software interface is mostly intuitive except for channel routing which required a bit of looking around. Don't be fooled by his small size, this 2x120W amplifier is powered by Dirac Live® Room correction, Roon Ready & Volumio streaming.

They are based in Hong Kong, a hectic but fun city. Being 1h away from Shenzhen, China's biggest electronic manufacturing hub, they have the advantages of being part of the "action". Their passion for technology and for "Agile" product development philosophy are the key drivers of the growth of the company and in-house IP. Stay tuned for some exciting years to come! miniDSP products are audio processors, with two or more audio input channels and two or more audio output channels. Inputs and outputs might be digital or analog, depending on the specific product. Typical applications include:

miniDSP Flex Eight, 400MHz Sharc DSP audio processor, toolbox for subwoofer or multiway speaker tuning, Optional Stereo Dirac Live license for room correction, Bluetooth LDAC/APTX/AAC streaming.

No, its much more than a dac - its a dsp two-way digital crossover as well, and you can aparently use USB digital input from a computer as sound source . This unit uses a XMOS at the USB input. The future for highend performance at normal prices looks good. Quad core ARM processor for network audio streaming - Roon Ready, Volumio streaming, Tidal/Tidal Connect, Spotify/Spotify Connect, Qobuz.

miniDSP, a not so "mini" company

Flex has Bluetooth streaming still while UL5 does not. If you're buying DSP there's not much difference and Flex is just another dac. If not then there's another difference. Audiophile performance with very low noise floor and distortion (SNR @128dB(A), THD+N @ -111dB (0.0003%) I am amazed once again! End to end performance this good? Remember this is the performance of ADC and DAC combined. And we still manage to have distortion at < -110 dB (18+ bits). With the launch of the miniDSP DDRC-24, the Dirac Live® room correction solution became available in a highly compact hardware unit. The DDR-24 DAC DSP is powered by a 400 MHz Analog Devices SHARC processor and retains the 4-channel output of its sister unit, the miniDSP 2x4 HD boxed hereby allowing for applications like subwoofer integration or even 2-way loudspeakers together with Dirac Live® room correction in a single tiny hardware platform. The DDRC-24 is an all-in-one unit with USB DAC + Dirac Live Room Correction + Speaker processing. Also, discover the brand's other Dirac Live devices, such as the miniDSP SHD, miniDSP SHD Studio and the miniDSP SHD Power. The SHD series combines Dirac Live with the popular Volumio streaming platform and the SHD power, even with integrated amplifiers.
