Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system?

Drubin...An Optical-to-Coax converter can be found at www.partsexpress.com item 180-961.

However, reading the DEQ2496 manual, I see that the digital output which is on an XLR connector can be switched between the professional format, AES/EBU, and the consumer format S/PDIF. You select the format using the I/O menu of the DEQ2496. It says that you can use an adapter to go from XLR to RCA for the digital output. Nothing is said about how this adapter is wired. I would get a standard balanced XLR to unbalanced RCA and give it a try.

Great, thank you very much Eldartford!

Kenn39...You raise a good point. Being aware of this I have set up low gain power amps, so that my "pre-out" signal level is as high or higher than the CDP output signal level. This is why a TAPE loop, if you have one, is the best place to put any signal processor, BehringerDEQ2496 included.

You might want to try using it between transport and DAC. Actually, I know you can't do that, Grant, so use it between transport and preamp.

Don't forget to order the microphone.
