    iPad head unit setup

    Would a line driver with line outputs into my amps be ok? I would either do that, and use dsp amps or use a separate dsp processor from the line driver into my regular amps. My system will have a pair of 3 way components up front and two subs in the rear.

    Sound processor

    Would I not need some sort of pre amp or processor to get the signal to the amps? If I used a Dayton dsp unit would it attach to the iPad mini via lightening or usb cable then go from that to the amps?

    Best head unit for high rez audio on a budget

    I have been searching with not very good results. I wonder if there are any 32 bit 192khz with high res capability? If I can’t find a deal on a nice used one or find a new one for under a grand I will just bite the bullet and order a new Sony with those capability’s. The Sony is over $1,500.
