Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
@mirolab , any experience with Hendyamps Michelangelo?  This piece looks extremely compelling to me.

the ultimate list of One set of controls, Stereo EQ Gearspace thread  This is where I’ll go first if I ever need to hunt for an EQ that’s true stereo. Great comprehensive list. Was wrong about SPL PQ. It’s not true stereo linked

I do too. Totally prefer loudspeakers. Like thought to bounce back and forth between the two. The headphone chain has the edge with resolution. But feeling the music and timbre…speakers win

Right now listening to Daft Punk - Random Access Memories as follows: Matrix X Sabre 3 dac streamer > Charter Oak analog balanced hardware PEQ-1 > Headamp GSX-Mini > HEKse.  Tonally adjusted to personal taste. For this album, for my ears...

@ellajeanelle , I read a lot of mastering forum threads because basically I tone shape and great insights for the “next step” beyond mastering, post production tone shaping to taste at home, can be gleaned from these threads. Also, you read about ...

@jtcf , awesome to hear it’s working out for you!  The pro analog gear are really another level or two up from where Schiit is. In most cases just no comparison.

I know another Audiogoner who did exactly that with a Charter Oak PEQ-1 (my unit) that he bought used in excellent condition on Reverb. It sits right at his listening spot. CONTROL CENTRAL.

Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
So for the rca to XLR input cable, 1 and 3 both ground, 2 hot. And for the output side, 1 ground 2 hot 3 floating. I wonder if the Skyline piece would’ve worked if I’d used that output pin scheme. You’ve just taught me something!  Good luck with t...

On extension, I’m guessing the best fidelity post production playback digital EQ would indeed be something like @mijostyn ’s DEQX Preamp. Because it’s a dedicated audio piece optimized for highest fidelity playback. Well, I still want try DEQX, @m...

Boils down to dedicated streamer vs computer serving code. Easier to get highest fidelity from former than latter. Probably best to stick to, in this example, hardware SPL PQ vs plug-in for home playback. I’d also be willing to bet bigger broader ... 
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
So post production, what’s the best way to implement say a SPL PQ plug in for digital EQ?  You’d have to use a computer to do it?  And dedicated outboard DACs are more high fidelity, yes?  In other words, in the home stereo setting you are better ...
