Is there such a thing as audiophile parametric eq?

First of all optical is not all that bad if you use the glass toslink cable. ALso, best is to use a good DAC after the Behringer, although you would be surprised how good the DAC in the Behringer is.

Also, the Behringer does allow coaxial inputs via the

Restock, I lost the last part of your message. Maybe what I want to do is possible with this unit after all. Ideally, I'd like to put the eq between my CD transport and DAC. I've modified a CD player using a reclocking circuit to provide a VERY low jitter transport and I've hotrodded an MSB dac to be very good as well. But they are both coaxial. Are you saying I could use the Behringer after all?

Can you explain how to use a DAC after the Behringer?

Thank you.

Sorry about the lost message ...here's another try:

In addition to the optical input the Behringer has AES/EBU digital inputs/outputs. These should work with an XLR to RCA adapator for coaxial in/out. Yes, I think you should be able to use it. Note however that the Behringer will do some sample rate conversion (SRC). Overall I am not sure whether more jitter will be introduced by the Behringer (even probable).

As for the DAC after the Behringer: You can use the digital out (optical or XLR) to connect to a DAC and do the DA conversion in a higher quality DAC. As mentioned above, I am not sure whether there will be some SRC step in addition to the digital DEQ that might have negative effects.

As I mainly listen to analog, I hardly use the DEQ, but I was surprised how well it worked when running it into a Lavry DAC. Also I keep it around to do room measurements, integrate the subwoofer better, etc...

Overall a good component at a very reasonable price.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Rene, that's very helpful.
