Behringer DEQ mods?

That was my thought too. I just wanted to see if anyone had heard a modded one.

I talked to Paul at TRL a while ago about modding the Behringer. He said they tried one, but couldn't make it sound any better.

Yeah you will be hard pressed to get better sound out of an inline equalizer changing caps or power supplies etc.. I use a more costly unit than the behringer by DBX, it is smooth as glass and does not add anything when on or off in the sound, so its very transparent already, also it is a pro unit used with pro measurments for live venues, however I don't use it for anything in the midrange and hi's only bass correction so who knows maybe it could be improved in the more criticle frequencies.. Again I don't think the money of mods to such a unit would be justified, or render much better results that you can't electronically adjust within such a tool on its own anyway, maybe, but I feel it would be minimal improvement at best and money better spent elsewhere.

Undertow-
I checked out your system. I was thinking about trying the Dac Lite Ah as an external Dac. How do you like yours?

Well I have the highest version of it now costing about 400 from them.. it has mundorf coupling caps, better opamps, several other caps and mods thru pacific valve, I like it a lot, very smooth and musical, very close to analog, basically it is better than the standard DAC Ah no doubt, but the original is the best for the money.. I have owned all variations of it now, including the mid level upgrades, all were very good overall.

How much better is the mid-level, than the standard? For only $70 more I'd give it a shot, if there's much difference at all.
For the price & the 30 day return, it would be hard to go wrong.
