Equalizer in a Hi Fi system

I have had a dbx Driverack 360 for about three years. It has a Wizard that will automatically sets your parametric eq at 14 different levels, sets your roll off points for them as well. Phase control for your mains and subs, a graphic eq, adjustable slopes for your roll off points, sub-harmonic synthesizer and on and on. It has a DAC I don’t use and am embarrassed to say until a few months ago, I didn’t use the auto wizard, but instead thought my ears could set it manually. You can set delays on your subs or mains. I love it. My son also bought a similar unit and loves his too. Don’t count this one out, until you try it. Besides my phono cables,  I use all XLR cables which plugs right into it. This may dissuade some of you. There are adapters made that convert RCA to XLR. 

You CAN do XLR to RCA in many cases with custom grounded cables like my Cardas. Obviates the need for undesirable extra box or converter. 

Mogami Gold XLR to RCA can be bought online and are already properly grounded to work without converter box for most matings of pro and consumer hi fi 

@tlcocks  Question. As u know I have the MQ112. What I don’t understand is when u all talk about DSP what is that. Also analog and digital equalizer. What is the difference. And what is the MQ112 ? Digital, analog ,DSP ? 

MQ112 is analog. DSP is digital signal processing. It’s equalization performed pre dac in the digital domain
