I'm not able to have a dedicated music room, so I'm upgrading the HT system in our great room with audiophile-quality equipment to get the best I can. The new speakers will be a pair of Martin Logan Summits driven by a Sunfire TGA-7400 amp. There will also be a Sunfire TGP-5 for home theater proce

I'm not sure what you mean by unbiased - most people have an opinion. I can tell you this: if you ask an engineer or physicist with no knowledge of high-end audio about this, they will be shocked that there could possibly be such a thing as an expensive wire or that anyone would buy one. Lambor

I believe the Behringer unit is the DEQ 2496. There is also a company called DEQX that makes (much more expensive) digital equalizers. In any case, while these typically can take either an analogue or a digital input, the processing they do is in the digital domain (so you'd be better off using
