Thanks Romy,
very interesting thread.
I've never tried the analogue inputs for the DEQ2496. If I want analogue in (which is rarely) I use a mytek a/d which sounds quite nice (but oneday when I get the time I'm going to modify it with i/p transformers .. .). The DEQ d/a section seems very good to me. Especially when used with a passive output filter. I'm going to play around with the analogue section PSU at some point. But first I want to take digital out and try a DAC that is complimentary to my mid-bass sound. I'm thinking of a NOS dac like the DDDAC (TDA1543 *8). Reports are that its very dynamic and exciting. Did anyone have experiance with this sort of dac?
I have to admit that I use the DEQ as a gentle eq from 160-900 hz to aid my woofers integration with my 250hz horns. Its a real bonus to fiddle around with this area while leaving the midrange untouched. Seems like the best of all worlds, because without it I'd have to revert to a 12db/octave or more xover. And life did improve when I went 6db/octave everywhere.. I can't hear any degredation in midbass quality when the eq section is switched in.
cheers
james
