Hi everyone,

for my balanced Headphone amp I look for DAC.

cann you recommend me between these dac - BEHRINGER ULTRAMATCH PRO SRC2496 or ZERO DAC.

wich sound is better?

I like Behringer because this one has also balanced output.


Thanks!!!

p.s.
both have a same price in ebay - 100 Euro.

BEHRINGER makes some of the worst bass gear (live amp.) that I've ever played. I can't speak for their home/studio audio, but I know the name is synonymous with 'awful' in my mind.

The Zero seems to get favorable reviews.

I have a Behringer DEQ2496. it sounds great and has lots of features that are fun and interesting, besides a parametric equalizer, such as width, which allows you to separate the channels even further. I really like it.
This may sound like anathema, but this site from Spain Matrix-Hifi
compared it to the Benchmark DAC 1 in blind testing and could not find a difference.
I am not looking to controversy here, so please don't flame me.

The Zero does have some horror stories ranging from "sudden death" to frying headphones. I stayed away from it after I read about those cases.

I know this dac/EQ. other alternative can be Behringer SRC2496 dac comby wiht Behringer TUBE ULTRA-Q/T1951 EQ. but I thing Behringer DEQ2496 musst be better.

I find modded Behringer SRC2496 dac - as Tube Dac!

look - Behringer
