| Monitor Audio Studio 20SE vs. GR20 or GR60 Although the Studio 60's retailed for much more than the GR60's, and I've never heard the Studio 60's, the reviews I read seemed to indicate that the GR60's actually are an improvement over the Studio 60's. In fact, you can upgrade the Studio 60's... | |
| Behringer as DAC? >>Smeyers...Let's not start an argument, but I am interested in why we have different experience.<<Who's arguing? It's about personal opinion and preference.>>1..I cross checked the Rives CD with the RS meter, and found them to b... | |
| Behringer as DAC? Eldartford, to answer your question, I found the EQ that the unit provided upon correction to sound very unnatural. The sound was muddy, hard, and nasal after correction. You might say that my ears need adjustment, and although this might be true,... | |
| Monitor Audio Studio 20SE vs. GR20 or GR60 I have had the GR60's for a year or so and can tell you that they are wonderful and I think a very good value as well. I unfortunately have not heard the Studio 20 so can't make a comparison. The GR60's are very fast for a dynamic speaker, have ve... | |
| Behringer as DAC? Actually there are two digital inputs: one AES/EBU and one S/PDIF optical. As Eldartford already mentioned, you can place the DEQ2496 between your digital source and your preamp, or you can feed the digital output to a DAC of your choosing, or use... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - wow Rgodin, have you been able to try the Behringer in pure digital mode without going through the DAC's? I have not tried going through the DAC's, but find the unit to be very tranparent if kept in the digital domain. I cannot hear any difference bet... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - wow Danner, you may be right. I just tried a SM57 and what happened is what I thought might happen. Since the SM57 has a somewhat tilted midrange, and not great response at the extremes, the Behringer produced a tonal curve that was severely boosted i... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - wow I never thought the product is perfect, nor am I willing to completely rearrange my living room for the sake of perfect sound. I've already taken many steps and have acquired some very good equipment, but need to take some steps to cure some tonal... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - wow Well, I'm not convinced how well the auto-eq function works. I tried just a few times with and without 'room correction' turned on and off. It just seems to do some wierd stuff in the midrange and treble, leaving the sound somewhat hollow and brig... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - wow I am now trying a combination of auto-eq and additional adjustment by ear. I'm letting the Behringer auto adjust to a flat tonal curve (which uses the graphic eq), then using the parameteric eq to tailer the tone to taste. This seems to work prett... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - wow Bill, I am not using the Behringer DAC's. Although I have not confirmed this, the internal DAC's might not be the highest quality. I am passing the digital output of the Behringer to a high-end surround-sound processer/preamp with it's own interna... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - wow You might be right about the autoeq feature being better... but then again why do you think that? One of the problems I see with the autoeq feature is it's use of the graphic eq for correction. The graphic eq has predefined center frequences which... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - wow Slight correction: the second sentence should read "It them makes a series of adjustments...", | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - wow The auto-eq works by emitting pink noise and measuring it through a microphone. I bought the $50 Behringer mic for this purpose. I then makes a series of adjustments using its 31 band graphic EQ. Although it may measure properly, I prefer the foll... | |
| Anyone hear of the Krell MD-20 transport? Thanks... I didn't know that.I still find it a little strange that I can hardly find any information on this unit (MD-20 transport). I would love to hear from anyone else who has any knowledge or experience with this unit.Thanks! |
