Again, take a look at the size of this market. It's tiny.

I was just talking to a friend of mine who has been into home and car audio for years. Even had his own speaker company for a while and has competed in the Expert classes in USACi and IASCA. We debated back and forth for a few hours. I was asking if he knew of any software out there that included corss-over functionality. He was adamant that it simply wasn't needed in any of the major applications. I have to agree. Everything that we are trying to do here is something that can be done cheaper and more efficiently using a preexisting hardware solution. I'm trying to change that, not just sitting here complaining about it, hoping that someone does something about it.

The hardware has not been much of a limitation for a long time, IMO.

Really? Show me a sound card (USB) that has processing AT LEAST equivilant to the Alpine 701 processor (note how I didn't say tuning abilities, but sound processing, D/As, opamps, etc. AND has at LEAST 8 rca outs that has 4+v voltage out).

I do feel winamp is a bit behind when it comes to doing a serious IASCA level SQ install. If there is a way to be doing all this please let me know, it is possible that in my search for a front end I have managed to miss this software. RedGTI please point me in the right direction so I can research this more.

Yeah, it's called bit accurate. I've made quite a few posts about it on this very forum.
