Analogue active speakers + native DSD DACs for use with HQPlayer

Do you really think analogue cross over fed by HQP is better than DSP cross over fed with 96/24 from HQP?

It can be yes.

@Daiyama

For example all higher tier monitors from Genelec are now with DSP cross over, so they obviously think that the DSP cross over has an overall better sonic performance as an analogue cross over otherwise they would stick to analogue, right?

For sure there are many active DSP speakers, if you like such and the DACs and amps inside those, you can of course use such.

Alternatively you can for example run DSP crossover in HQPlayer as well.

@Daiyama

genral analogue cross over + HQP is better than DSP cross over

I personally prefer that way and run room/speaker/headphone corrections in HQPlayer instead of using DSP speakers. I don’t like sound of the DSP algorithms, DACs and amplifiers in those speakers.

Primary point of HQPlayer is to be DSP side of the DAC. Plus optionally cross-over, room/speaker/headphone correction. And of course player.
