digital EQ is usually much better than analog EQ because the DEQ does all the EQ using DSP's

EQing in the analog domain causes phasing issues and such... its really more bad than good... which why the DEQ is such a great EQ, it dosent suffer from those issues becuase its all done digitally anyway

Thanks, I was not aware of that...

How would you guys compare it to something like the Musiland MD10 as a DAC? That uses the Cirrus CS4398 balanced D to A converter (up to 192kHz).

Xenithon. My MD10 is burning in now and seems to have some potential. Don't sell the SRC dac short. Other than a few quibbles with the output stage I think it's a fine implementation, especially for the price.

Not sure how it stacks up against the more expensive DACs as my listening with Lavry's etc has been limited and with different equipment so no usable comparisons have been possible.
