Well, most of Behringer stuff has consistently bad reviews reporting numerous failures, and its analog stage is said to be just of cheap design and bad parts quality. Now, if you look at specs it mention jitter between 2ns to 20ns, which is HUGE from any standpoint. I'm considering getting DEQ, but I'm seriously concerned with so high jitter - to handle it I'd need very well jitter handling DAC. -- 325xi simaudio nova cdp >> simaudio moon i-5 >> revel performa m20 on skylan stands via acoustic zen matrix reference ii and acoustic zen satori sb3 >> audioengine 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 325xi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5661 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=15673 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
