Is DEQX a game changer?

A'gon audio pal here :-)

Roscoe, congratulations on the purchase! As Bruce (Bif) indicated, I'm looking forward to reading of your experiences.

My plan is to purchase the recently released HDP-5 in March or thereabouts, although the HDP-4 would no doubt serve my purposes just as well. But I find myself unable to resist the added coolness of the touchscreen display on the -5.

Enjoy! Best regards,

Ha, I wondered if Al was who you were referring to, Bruce! I've been following this thread for a while and re-read a lot of it to pass the time before my unit arrives. And I recalled Al's interest. In fact, I'd recalled that Al was interested in grabbing one of these, so I figured I'd give him first dibs on this HDP-4 if it didn't work in my system. Least I could do for all the great contributions from the great Almarg!

Yeah Al, the HDP-5's touchscreen looks mighty cool. I was a little surprised that they didn't go with the linear power supply on the HDP-5 though. Just looked at the comparison grid re: the HDP-5, are there any other substantive differences other than touch screen, internet connectivity and power supply that you've been able to find out about?

To Al & Roscoe - when you get your DEQXs' I am happy to help with any aspect of explanation or setup if you need it...

Thanks very much, Drewan. I've been keeping in mind the kindly offer of assistance you had made earlier in the thread.

Best regards,
