Re: DEQ 2496 and DAC 1

Hi Tom,
I am using one that I feed with a Monarchy Audio DIP via. the AES/EBU XLR input. I think take the optical output into a second Monarchy Audio DIP before sending it on to the DAC (not a DAC-1 but doesn't matter for this discussion).

I have found this to be pretty much sonically invisible (except for the obvious equalizing function). If you use this DEQ any other way besides digital in and digital out then you will degrade your sound. I recommend DIPing the in and the out as I have found the DEQ to be sensitive to input jitter and it produces a fair amount of its own jitter based on the specs (something like up to 2 nanoseconds of jitter.)
