Post Subject: Bypassing the DEQs DAC...Posted by scooter on: 2/11/2009

No question the Behringer has a ton of functionality, especially at under $300. The simple RTA is useful on the fly. I think and hope this tool will help with the MiniMe development.

I always wondered why the DEQ sounded so veiled but suspected it was the ADC/DAC. Poor results using the DEQ simply as a DAC with a digital source provided some supporting evidence. I dumped the Behringer so can't experiment with it anymore, but was wondering...

...would you mind trying a simple experiment? Could you completely bypass the Behringer's ADC/DAC to see if it still sounds tainted?

Digital source > Digital cable > Behringer > Digital Cable >Lavry DAC > Preamp...

You might try the Behringer without processing and with some processing. Does bypassing the Behringer ADC/DAC help?

Bonus - I posted a rant on my experiences with the DEQ for those who are interested:
