@jtcf , any good feedback on the API Select SR24 yet?

@mijostyn , I’ll reach out to you on a demo. Thanks

@mijostyn , thanks for the update!  When the time is right I’d love a demo. If possible.

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 ...

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 ...

Thanks, my friend. Great insights.

@mirolab , how close are the programmers at Plugin Alliance getting these classic emulations to sound in comparison to their original analog hardware counterparts?  I listened to a YouTube video comparing the SPL PQ, plug-in vs hardware version on...

I’ve heard RME dac is a little edgy or a little digital glare or etch. Don’t know if that’s true. I’ve yet to find a digital EQ that tone shapes even close to balanced analog studio EQ. If you try though, I’d love to hear thy impressions!

API looks nice. Not stereo ganged. Every adjustment have to turn two dials the same amount. Look for stereo ganged unit. I know the SPL PQ is pricey, but it’ll do ganged so one turn for both channels. I’d spring for that if both of my CO died.

My Cardas are custom wired exactly the same. They are GREAT   
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
The cables are ready to go. Full unity gain without any box in between. You don’t want ANY other box in the circuit. If had done all that in the beginning. When I discovered the Mogami Gold and that I didn’t need a box, SQ took a huge leap forward...
