| Need recommendation for my hybrid system I realize everything can be very subjective and there are numerous opinions regarding sound. For me, I’ve found that the McIntosh C2500 has been the perfect fit. As I progressed in upgrading my amps, swapping between DACs, getting into vinyl...g... | |
| Equalizers- love them or hate them and why? I tried them, but realized that crossovers affected my attempts to flatten a signal. A system with DEQX seems to be a better way around this.BI second this. Once my room was addressed with room treatment, I added the DEQX. I’ve found that the t... | |
| Ps Audio P10 vs Bryston bit 20 Not sure if you’re aware, but PS Audio is releasing a new P series, P20. May want to wait for that to drop; which I believe is quite soon. Or, wait for existing P10 owners looking to sell theirs, in hopes of upgrading to the P20. | |
| EQ’ing with DEQX Anyone use these units with the Sanders 10e speakers?Or any ESL. Though they are different than a traditional speaker and I don't recall in the manual there being any reference towards differentiating between the two. They refer to "traditional"... | |
| EQ’ing with DEQX Thank you Mark. | |
| EQ’ing with DEQX Thanks, again, Al! | |
| Cocktail Audio X50 Following. I too would like to hear input on the X50. Looking to move off of my MacBook and go to a dedicated music server. | |
| IsoAcoustics speaker isolation stands...Thoughts I wasn’t suggesting, as I identified there’s an audible difference. Whether it sounds better, the listner in the video seems to think so; which, as we all know, is completely subjective. | |
| IsoAcoustics speaker isolation stands...Thoughts Well, there is an audible difference in the video and I’m assuming it’s a listener commenting on how much better it sounds with them. Though, I do question the overuse of the word “smear” in helping define what’s happening to the soundstage. | |
| IsoAcoustics speaker isolation stands...Thoughts bdp24, seriously. I have my room treated and am using a DEQX, wondering if these actually do anything. | |
| Pre amp with Dac It’s a little bit beyond your budget, but you may be able to locate one used for around $3000, the PS Audio Direct Stream Junior. It’s not a preamp, per se, but can operate as one. I’ve used it as a preamp and was quite impressed with the result... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Ok, I won’t throw a “solved” in there, but generally the simplest answer is correct. I wasn’t plugging both XLR’s from the preamp into the DEQX, just one side; which there was just white noise coming out. Plugging both in makes it work, along wi... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Hi Al and thanks for the quick reply. Your interpretation is correct. It does sound quite good without my preamp, but I really like the tubes I have in it, adds a little “warmth” to the overall presentation, so I’m not ready to discard it. The ... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Wondering if any could share their connection setup. I’ve been attempting to integrate my preamp into the chain, with 0 luck. I pulled my DAC and inserted the Premate and am not able to get a signal to pass through my preamp. Sounds/works great... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Wanted to thank everyone for their commentary and posts on this piece. I have one coming, should be here next week. Looking forward to getting it integrated. |
