DAC

[Ian Mackenzie]

Bit the bullit. Now i'll drive you mad and end up on some ignore lists.

I ordered DEQX 2.6 P . Pre-amp with post DAC analog volume control. Xover,EQ , tame the foghorn and get rid of my bump.

Can it be programmed for xovers for different speakers..... ? ie, 4345 and have the Xover freqencies stored in the memory for a 2435+h9800, 1500al ?

Apparently, but you'll need some coaching to get your programing skills up to speed. Talk to Mr Widget.

I think Widget and Ken are the DEQX experts around here - hopefully they'll chime in.

Did I say " i like a callenge"

...or dump the whole idea and get a good turntable, cartridge and phono stage.

Yep! I see trouble ahead ,a few tears, maybe even severe depression.


The turntable will be the next to go

No expert here... though I have learned a bit along the way as I bounce from one screw up to the next.

Yes and no. Yes you can easily store up to 4 different crossover configurations that can be switched out on the fly via remote... and you can save an infinite number if you are willing to plug in your PC... not a simple push button to toggle between them, but it is quite possible.

And no, in that you will not be able to absolutely mimic the JBL crossovers. You can not create asymmetrical crossovers with DEQX... sometimes JBL and others choose to design an electrical network that is asymmetrical so that the acoustic response is closer to the ideal... while this can be an inconvenience with DEQX, you can typically correct this situation by using the DEQX's powerful EQ controls.

I am sure that with care, you will be able to design an active crossover that satisfies any system's requirements. I do not advocate using the DEQX automated correction filters with larger systems, however you may find yourself happy with them. If you have additional questions once you are up and running feel free to drop me a line.

PS: As Merlin will undoubtedly tell you, as good as DEQX is... it is still d-i-g-i-t-a-l.

[richluvsound]

thanks Widget,,

that give s me a lot more confidence. DIGITAL yep ! I dont know much about it.

I have the chance to use this kit while I await the arrival of something special The DEXQ will serve all my purposes for the time being. Merlin had one also for a while, so more help is only a spit away.

My system is in complete flux. The 45's and the K thingy are my starting point.

I have a DEQX and i am 1 happy customer
i use it with JBL LSR6332 and now a pair LSR6312sp subs

i used to own a Proceed outboard DAC which was very good an the DAC of the DEQX are as good

in the near future i will be adding a 1 more amp to drive the 12" of the lsr6332 and have a triamplifid system
one thing i really like about the deqx is that after tuning your system you can still have 3 band of eq as tone control for different recordings which you can control remotely and erase with one button with out altering your main speaker and room tuning
the EQ is really nice (as you will see i am not an audio purist)
i find LSR are Very easy with eq as was there design intent to be able too adjust to the house curves and changing the axis curve changes the of axis similarly

i also recommend you don't use the auto correction do it your self

Guys

Is it true that the DAC is more important than the transport ? ie . Buy a top draw DAC and buy a top draw transport later ?.

TIA, Rich

initially , what important is, that the cd transport has to be slaved to the converter . The converter gives the clock to the transport, not the opposite way, this is very good solution . Afterall you bought the DEQX, has no support for this as far I see, the transport became critical importance now. Fear not tho, the top notch transports can be amazing. Hit stereophile.com for jitter specs. AES / EBU is mandatory .
