Foo_Xover plugin questions.

Posted by Frank25 (A) on January 12, 2007 at 08:44:15

Ive recently been thinking about upgrading my modest desktop PC audio system to something more high end. Ive been doing alot of research and i plan on doin a DIY active speaker system witrh my PC as the source. The Xover was the biggest problem for me as I have no expereince with active Xovers and my budget is small. I stumbled upon the Xover plugin for Foobar and it seems to be perfect for what I want to do. Has anyone used it?? I have a bunch of questions about this Xover.
1. Do you have to use a 7.1 surround sound card?? Or can a card like the M-audio Delta66 series work, it has 6 analog outputs.
2. If it doesnt have to be a 7.1 card, can a card with multiple digital outputs work?? For example if the soundcard has 3 seperate digital outs, could you use a seperate dac for the lows, mids and highs?
3. Is the Xover ASIO compatible?
4. How is the sound quality of the Xover plugin? Does it degrade the sound or is it transparent?

I hope someone out there has expereince using this plugin, i havent had much luck finding much info on it. Id like to get the design for the system all sorted out before I start buying parts to build the amps and speakers. The Xobver has been holding me back the most and a software xover solution would be great. Please help.
thanks
