I think the ideal way to do active would be using the built in DSP and crossover function built into server software like JRiver.
It would require multiple or multi channel DAC, but it seems the least destructive method since no additional DA or AD conversions would be needed.
Has anyone experimented with this method?
I have dreamed of modding my TAD CR1's to work with an active crossover, but I would not want to risk damaging such an exotic driver.
The other issue is I would want not to use amps of a lesser quality than my BHK 300's (with their tube input stage) and could not afford another 2 or 4 channels of BHK. I have read about people trading their Pass amps for BHK 300's (perhaps because of the tubes) Maybe a pair or 3 of the stereo BHK 250 would work. They are doing a more powerful version, unfortunately not a lower power version for multi ways which would be ideal.
