Cwlondon,...buy a PC board (e.g. 24/96 Soundblaster) and use it's audio out to connect fibre-optic DIRECTLY to the Behringer. Works fine for me...
PC Audio and the Behringer DEQ 2496
As mentioned in other threads, I use this device to switch between PC and HDTV inputs for a desktop system, with generally good results.
As I wonder about upgrading amps and monitors, however, I am experimenting to see how good the PC audio really might sound.
Do I understand correctly that the optical input on the Behringer is the least desirable way to input digital data?
Because unfortunately, I am currently going USB out of a netbook, to a passive USB hub, which then connects to a "cheapo" Behringer interface, and exports with an optical cable to the DEQ2496.
Having said that, it all sounds suprisingly good for my desktop.
I also have a Hagtech USB to SPDIF interface, but the Behringer does not have a coaxial input, only an AES EBU input, other than the optical input.
Therefore, can anyone please advise or update the possiblities for using the DEQ 2496 and PC audio successfully?
Thank you,
