Digital crossovers

With the exception of an analog input, there are a number of digital EQ options like DEQX that can provide a digital output (as well as taking digital inputs), so there is no need for unnecessary A/D/A conversion if one wants a different DAC to handle those final analog out duties. The DEQX is remarkably transparent in its A/D conversion (I was pretty shocked, to be honest). And the quality of the DAC has not felt lacking to me. Of course there may be less successful A/D/A implementation in other devices. 

The DEQx has always indeed looked to me like an intriguing piece of gear and even more so now in view of Roscoe's comment above about the sound of the DAC. If I weren't enjoying my current setup so much I believe I could be tempted to "kick the tires" on that one and take a very hard look...all that and phase response correction, too. Thanks guys.

Are crossovers "tone killers" as Zu Audio says?

Are digital crossovers a solution?

That’s Zu Audio’s opinion & no wonder since they sell cross-over-less speakers! No conflict of interest here!! ;-)
No, cross-overs are not tone killers IF you implement this correctly & that takes some doing....

All digital cross-overs? Try the Meridian (Boothroyd-Stuart Meridian, a UK company) solution. They offer an all-digital system all the way to their speaker. The D/A occurs in their speaker + the speaker is active i.e. has its own amps inside the speaker box.
How many people you know & know of own Meridian? OR, own that style of audio solution?
Does the answer tell you something??
