I use that guide as well. Any Vst host or DAW can be used in combination with some sort of routing (there are several solutions).
Important to me is that I can the software starts up correctly with the correct settings.
Vsthost can do that. I have also tried Minihost, but that wil not load automatically the settings. You have to do that manually at every restart.

Please provide a link for that particular version of vsthost you use.
You have a true ASIO card or use ASIO4All?

What routing solution do you use? Does that also start up automatically with windows?
Thanks for the help!
Go to the headline ASIO software

Windows PC as a FIR Audio Processor
It will explain most.
Hifi Cable can directly put it self in the start function.
VSThost you have to put in manually (not hard - method depends on you windows version)
You also have to tell VST host to remember settings (again not hard, you just need to know how)
Instead of convolver VST I use two stereo eq's to make a two-way speaker system.

Tim, yes, several of us do, though not in Windows. There are certainly articles on the internet with "how-to" instructions, too:

Works with PC and Laptop and any soundcard as well.

there have been some guides posted but I use a dedicated linux pc with brutefir controlling everything.
I use rephase to create the xo filters and upload or edit remotely using ssh.
so that means the computer never has any keyboard or monitor attached. i log in remotely from time to time if needed.
I use debian 8 jessie in command line only mode. from power on button push to running commands is less than 24 secs
My system uses an "OrangePi +", no keyboard, no monitor. Ubuntu Linux. It uses under 10 watts, so I just leave it on all the time. It takes about 30 seconds to boot, if I reboot it. I use 6 of the 7.1 outputs on my USB sound "card", sub out, main out, remote full-range out. It has plenty of computing power to handle all this.
I use a Fujitsu Esprimo Q900 with a cheap Xonar U7 7.1 USB sound card. It's both musicplayer and crossover and surf machine.
Sorry for bumping this old thread.
Does anybody know is there are new tools available for using the pc as a source + active crossover + FIR or IIR EQ?

Audiolense XO needs a Windows based PC, and a good soundcard and measure mic. Audiolense also works best with JRiver mediaplayer.
Cool! MAC OS alternative are probably scarse, right? But I am also curious for Windows tools, so I will check Audiolense out.
Does someone have experience with using Roon for this? Roon Knowledge Base - DSP Engine

I use a 8 channel pro eksternal soundcard from RME, Fireface UC.
RME and Lynx aer good sounding USB interfaces for hifi setups.

Other options:
Presonus Audiobox 1818VSL
Behringer FCA610
I would look on Ebay for the Presonus, used. That should be under 300 Euros.
