The DAX88. The best way to control audio in your home.

[@STXVIEC]

I have a sonance DAB1 which is basically the exact same thing. Ive had it since 2007 & it still works perfectly to this day

[@si12volt1]

what your point that not this system or brand

[@STXVIEC]

It is the exact same concept. Simply saying how good distributed audio systems are.@@si12volt1

[@cg3356]

Great product and most importantly excellent explanation of how all things work together! Now I just need to wait for it to be available!

[@DaytonAudioOfficial]

It is now available! www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-DAX88-8-Source-8-Zone-Distributed-Audio-Matrix-Amplifier-300-985

[@gilfernandes83]

Great product - I noticed the on/off is a manual hard switch control. Will the next model integrate a soft button that can be controlled via google assistance/Alexa to turn on and off seamlessly?

[@andrewwood89]

You can leave the toggle switch in the on position, and then plug the unit into a smart enabled outlet adapter.

[@andresmedina1279]

Can 3 different cell phones send three different music streams to three different rooms simultaneously?

[@camiloandresromeromendez5891]

Is there a similar product that is more affordable? probably not for 6 to 8 zones, but probably 2 to 4 instead?

[@mrbrooks56]

does the panels and the DAX88 requires an active network to communicate?

[@davidk1501]

Can it be controlled via IP commands over Ethernet? or only through RS232 serial port?

[@joshishailendra32]

Looks Great but how many people can use it.

[@WhoCares2509]

Zero responses to any questions here. Looks like phenomenal customer support /s. I would like to know if there is a PA function to broadcast one source to all active zones, and secondly if there is a Home Assistant plugin for the amp, but I doubt I will get any answers here.

[@kmg3144]

What is the best way to connect this to an AVR? My AVR powers my 5.1 system. The AVR would be a source but it is also already connected to my living room speakers.

[@borissefr]

Looking forward to test it !! can't wait ! When it will be released ?

[@rayflexentertainment1545]

hello, pls how do I update the firmware on this system and how do I add more than one amplifer..

[@jortpeters6419]

Do zone 7 & 8 (RCA pre-amp outs) go through a ADC in the machine? (does it make sense using a high end dac as input, when using those zones as output, or is the quality affected by another adc +dac?)

[@lodewicusadriaanse3295]

Very nice. When will it be out?

[@kman8600]

Can I connect an AV receiver to it? So I can connect a projector ps4 Xbox etc ? And if so , how ? Thank you

[@wandiletembe]

Wonderful

[@arlindmolla2150]

Can other zone 1-7 use wifi input ?

[@curtvincent3728]

I have 2 of these, they are great. HOWEVER, while you get 8 more inputs when you buy a second unit, they really need to be ganged to the 8 inputs on UNIT 1. This is no big deal, I don't know anyone who uses 8 inputs, but many people, like me, want one sources to go to all 16 outputs, which you do by a y cable to both DAX88 units. I like this thing, but I too am still learning. I have yet to hvae success in getting Google Nest to connect to the DAX 88. Anyone?

[@makaderjibon7651]

very good

[@ItsNikoOnTheTube]

The control on these are horrible, I installed 3 at a client's house and am selling them why do you have to go between 2 different apps, high end clients don't want to toggle between matrio control, hy-fly, and spotify. Please fix in an update or something, the amps are good and push good sound.

[@PhilBlancett]

Did you find another option for your client, assuming Sonos wasn't an option. Juke Audio is nice, but has it's drawbacks with only really airplay or spotify.

[@ItsNikoOnTheTube]

@@PhilBlancett haha, yep, since they are Apple people I bought them Jukes. It is pretty easy for them, only thing I haven't liked with juke is that it doesn't really have inputs on the machine. The app is easy though. I have sold one of the dax88s and 2 more soon to go. Lol

[@PhilBlancett]

@@ItsNikoOnTheTube ah ok thanks good to know. I agree with you, hopefully they will come out with a Juke 2 or something with a little more beef. I do like them for energy usage, as my Sonos were really using too much.

[@ItsNikoOnTheTube]

@@PhilBlancett yeah, that would be awesome. I've noticed it is not as loud either, I hooked up 3 speakers and it cuts out. Those dax88s are loud, such a toss up. Sonos is a good product but I lost my trust in the actual company, I've got 8 sonos connects that are sitting here useless but worked great. They want us to buy an all new product line but don't have any to sell. Grrr....lol

[@knjpollard]

Darn, no page trigger and input function. Any way to simulate that? I had a door bell and wholehouse intercom I was using with my old system. Whenever i used the pager feature it all other sound, but the page input would mute.

[@rgsauve]

Do you have a Canadian distributor?

[@MStar10]

Same question... And can you connect an avr to it?

[@hungarianhc]

Would this work with a wireless microphone as an input?

[@dleblanc]

Yes, you just need to connect the wireless receiver into the amp.
