| Behringer DEQ 2496 Two points - Behringer should really include the microphone with DEQ2496, even if they have to increase the price. You need the microphone to get the most out of it. - Unless you have fancy cable that you don't want to touch, re-terminate them wit... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? As Warnerwh said, the best thing to do is try it and see how you like it. A couple thoughts: The equalization/room correction feature may be so beneficial that it outweights some loss in ultimate sound quality.This is an amazing piece of equipment... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? Connection-wise, yes.Many people consider the A/D conversion being a weak link. The D/A conversion is respectable but no world-beater either. Therefore, it is best to be used in the digital domain, between a transport and a DAC.You can download th... | |
| Can a PC match the quality of the best CD players? I think Edesilva explained many issues effectively. I just want to "amplify" that what PC replaces is just the transport. The big change is from reading a CD in real time to reading the hard drigve (much faster and error free) with plenty of time ... | |
| Rotel RCD 1072, As a CDP,Transport or with LinkDac If your Link DAC does not have the upsampling board, get a DIP Upsampler (about US$300 new). I found it to be an audible upgrade when I added one to my Link DAC. | |
| XLR/RCA adapters problem - Electrocompaniet You should check with the company to see how XLR to RCA conversion should be done.The usual way is shorting pin 3 and pin 1. In the case of Benchmark DAC1, pin 3 must not be connected to avoid grounding problem. I wonder if you have a similar prob... | |
| Where should I start for computer audio?? Take a look at A Mini GuideUnless you want to explore computer-based DSP (e.g. upsampling, equalization, etc.), Squeezebox/Soundbridge is the best choice. | |

| Need Advice on a DAC for my Music Server? Lossless is lossless. You can verify that by converting back and forth between a losslessly compressed file and the original uncompressed WAV file. They should be bit identical. You can't do this a lossy compression format like MP3.Picking a DAC f... | |
| Substitute for Waveterminal U24 I think there are way too much credits given to "USB DAC".Other than the low end USB DACs which actually use USB DAC chips, many "USB DACs" are just "regular" DACs with USB interface built-in.There are certainly theoretical advantages in a tightly... |
