I've wanted to put together a DSD playback system for cutting lacquers for a while now. The only commercially available options are expensive. Almost no one asks for this so it needs to be done on the cheap.
I need four channels. Two for Preview to feed the automation and two for Modulation which feeds the cutterhead. The modulation signal needs to be delayed either 1200ms or 800ms depending on record speed.
I think I have a multichannel outputs sorted out with the MiniDSP MCH Streamer. Those can feed Twisted Pear D/A converters. The software I would like to use is Sound It! Pro, which can handle most of the DSD flavors. Sound It! Pro is only two channels.
I need to figure out a way take a copy of the output of the software, delay it by the appropriate amount and route it to another set of outputs on the MCH.
My question is basically 'is it feasible'. I know next to nothing about software.
Another idea was to build a hardware delay unit. I asked over on DIY Audio and the answer I got was that it would take a RAM chip and some timers. I didn't get the impression it was too difficult for someone who knows that stuff.
Any other ideas?
