Default Best Digital Sound Processor

I am tossing around the idea of using a Digital Sound Processor for my stereo so that each speaker can have individual high-pass and low-pass filters applied and 30+ band EQ.

What are the best ones out there. I will need at least 10 channels, but 12 would be best.

I want the ability to apply a high pass and low pass (at the same time) to at least 4 of the channels. And separate 30+ band EQ on each channel. The two best that I can find are I like the Alpine PXE-0850S and AudioControl DM-810. Here are the differences:

Alpine:

12 output channels , 8 of which can be 25W RMS speaker level.

Selectable crossover type (Butterworth, Bessel, or Linkwitz-Riley)

12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, and 48 dB/Octave crossover slop option

Higher THD, but still only .05%

31 band EQ

100dB SNR

20a max draw

RCA output 7.5V



AudioControl:

10 output channels

Linkwitz-Riley only crossover

Only 12 or 24 dB/Octave crossover slop options

Built in RTAs input and output.

Very low THD, .01%

30 band EQ

96 dB SNR

3a max draw

RCA Output 10V max



It seems like the Alpine is a little better. Inputs?

Added major differences in the two best that I could find.
