[QUOTE="Brad Weber, post: 73207, member: 114"] Re: X16 Preview You do not need the Yamaha PM1D Manager, XTA Audiocore or L'Acoustic array software running on a connected computing device in order for the associated audio devices to normally function. In the case of the DL1608 or the X16 shown the software and a compatible device to run it are required at all times in order for the the hardware to provide any functionality. To me that is a significant difference. Since it is where I normally play, think of the difference in installs.
