Hello and good day,
I've been looking into getting a DAC+ DSP, although I have a question that I cannot find anywhere regarding the DSP board, as well as HiFiBerry...
I have recently installed a speaker system in the bedroom, although need to apply some room correction, due to a fairly boomy frequency on the lower end that need some manual tweaking. I don't have any kind of a higher-end amplifier like my Yamaha RX-V3900 in the living, just a simple 2 channel 100w per channel amplifier (which unfortunately only has Bass/Treble adjustments, it's quite basic but that is not sufficient to properly correct the EQ issue.)
I understand a Raspberry Pi running HiFiBerry and a DAC+DSP would be the perfect solution to have the web based interface to easily adjust and tweak the EQ to my exact preferences, although my question is, can I use the Raspberry Pi with a secondary USB Soundcard for the input? The device that I have hooked up that requires tuning only has analogue output, and besides trying to find an RCA -> Toslink adapter just to get it to work directly with the DAC+ DSP, I have been unable to find any information about using the DAC+ DSP to process a source other than it's own Toslink input.
Can anyone some assistance or suggestions?
Thanks!
Quentin

HiFiBerry team While you theoretically could use an USB sound card for this, there is no support for this in HiFiBerryOS. Therefore, I don't think this is a good solution for you.

Quentin Wolf Hello and thank you for your response.
Unfortunately as appealing as HiFiBerry's DSP products seemed, since you suggested it was not a good solution for me as my idea was unsupported, I ended up picking up a second-hand Yamaha receiver that supported YPAO for just over $100, ran the optimizer, and then further tweaked the EQ settings of the speakers to further reduce the "boomy" frequencies. As well as being easily integrated into my Home Automation setup (OpenHAB), this ultimately ended up being the best choice for my needs without having to fiddle around with mixing and matching hardware and setting up a Raspberry Pi that may not have done the trick.
Take care!
