| Question for Behringer DEQ2496 users Don't feel all exclusive over it, I fall for that stuff all the time. | |
| Question for Behringer DEQ2496 users Hi Jonathon, you can use it as a DAC (as I do), although its use as a pre is limited because of loosing digital bits. I use a DEQ that was modified by Ric Schultz (EVS) in Calif. The outs are balanced and fed into a pair of Goldpoint series attenu... | |
| DAC /pre Advise NEEDED urgently My vote would be for the DacMagic Plus, as well...possibly a better sounding volume control solution than the ($250) tube pre. | |
| break-in--bane or boon ?? That would have to be my fault sooner than yours, Mapman. :) | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Audioengr, thanks for tip on the Mac Mini, I've been stumped so far as to the Onkyo's replacement. Don't want to hijack the thread, but, which Mini would be best? (Somewhat unfamiliar with the computer end of things). | |

| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Kijanki, I agee with you, there are really 2 different problems like you say, and to a degree I've done both in my rig, but the conditioning had a bigger impact on it and was a bigger bang for the buck. Apologies all around if I got carried away w... | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Audioengr, I do understand what you're saying and you're perfectly right, there are many contributing (purely) digital factors that help with this problem, but I suppose what I'm getting at above is really that many people who've spent a considera... | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Actually, the idea that digital edginess or harshness must therefore be the result of a digital problem is currently one of the biggest myths in all of audio. The recognition of the impact of successful power conditioning solutions on this problem... | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Percentage of CD's in my collection that were noticeably bright or edgy before a successful amount of power conditioning was applied: 30-40%. After: Z-E-R-O!!!Understand?? :)Also have a digital, 10-band parametric EQ in my rig...an otherwise extre... | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Agree with Sabai, a good power conditioning solution makes ALL your CD's sound right. For me, it not only "took the edge off", but in fact made all digital playback sound like analog, and I mean finally and once and for all, not like the empty pro... | |
| what to choose? Possibly not the Naim (for dynamics maybe, but the Naim sound has always been more about PRAT and tonality than soundstaging in particular). Dunno about the Densen. I know some people like the Audiolab, but I've not heard it. The Oppo would be a g... | |
| Where's Alan Maher? Try "alan maher designs" on facebook. Once you find him, all you have to do is friend him on facebook and you're in. I deal with him all the time. | |
| break-in--bane or boon ?? Geoff, nope, not the "radio receiver" that you say is out of your control, but that last nth degree of soundstage dimensionality on a revealing system??...just possibly might be missed the first time around...who knows.Doug, my point, and it's rea... | |
| break-in--bane or boon ?? While were at it and FWIW, I may as well bring up yet one more variable to consider. And another admittedly intractable one, at that. This one often either goes unnoticed or un-discussed. But, let me start by saying I, too, believe in break in an... |
