Sorry for you for purchasing Behringer. For compression you should look at quality audio equipment.
Follow Ups:
With just a little tweaking the DCX can reach audiophile quality.
All you need is:
1) Direct-to-board properly terminated 75ohm connection for SPDIF
2) Output stage mods (or just replace with passive)
3) Power supply mods
4) New clock circuit (and get rid of the CS8420)
5) Mods to grounding scheme (analog and digital grounds, coupling caps)
I've done 1 and 2 and I'm still not happy with the thing, although the sibilance and high-end dreck is largely gone. With the sibilance gone, one can hear how much detail is ACTUALLY there... and it's good but no great hell.
I think one must do 1 through 4 at least, and all five to really clean things up and make the piece audiophile worthy.
It's a highly sophisticated device for the money, but unfortunately, all the money went into tech and not into important things like power supply, digital inputs, analog outputs, and the ground plane scheme.
Until I modded mine it was just shelved and sat there collecting dust. A $100 soundcard in my PC sounded better than the unmodded DCX.
Cheers,
Presto
I'm new to this field and was attracted by the lower cost.
For another project, I am now considering the dbx Driverack 260. That seems to be have more and better features but is more expensive.
