| Is DEQX a game changer? Good to read your comments Denis and you have reminded me of an important aspect that Almarg may want to considerA full range speaker such as the Ulysses that he describes will benefit from DEQX (automated) phase and time alignment, however the la... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Timlub, whilst you are correct and I have used DEQX in all the configurations you mention, even on a speaker containing a passive crossover, the sense of reality and coherence is very impressive. However Bi-amped with Subs or Tri-amped is at a who... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Yes Al, you can be confident that your Ulysses will sound so much better with the HDP-4. Unmodified Shahinian Obelisks were my first foray with DEQX and I was amazed at the improvement in clarity and realism it brought to themBi & tri-amping i... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Al, for the configuration you plan on using you won't need to worry about any manual time alignment as the 3 sets of outputs won't be feeding multiple power amps or subs (which is what they are really designed for). The only graphs you will need t... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Al, great to hear. I am confident that you will be equally impressed when you get the HDP4. If you need assistance with any part of the configuration or interpreting the graphs, I am more than happy to helpThere are some really useful features tha... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Responding to Roscoeiii - using the 4 DEQX presets as part of the setup process, this has been my experience over the past 2 1/2 years:1. With DEQX processing switched out of the system, I thought music sounded OK but imaging was rather flat and 2... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? I agree Bif, I thought my old Shahinian Obelisks were pretty good until I heard what DEQX did to them . I literally swore out loud in amazement the first time I played them afterwards | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? One of the reasons I jumped in with DEQX was because every review I could find was 'enthusiastic' (rather an understatement, read John Atkinsons previous comment here: http://www.stereophile.com/content/gob-smacked-deqx). Then I heard what it did ... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? I use a Graham Slee Majestic DAC from a Yamaha transport. This gives a very smooth, analogue like sound but not at all 'rolled off'. It replaced a Chord 64 where treble sounds more brittle by comparisonIt is the most realistic CD sound I have hear... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Alan Langford from DEQX Australia has viewed this forum topic and emailed me as below: "....Andrew, Just noticed your last few posts, it would be good to point out that your HDP3 used DACs from Analog Devices AD1853. The New HDP-4 & PreMate us... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Psag: "Drewan77 if you are using the HDP3, then you are utilizing its DAC. The device operates in the digital domain. The last step is digital to analogue conversion."Partly true...I will explain:The internal DAC for processing incoming CD or stre... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Psag: "Drewan77, I didn't realize you were using the DEQX mate, which does not have the digital inputs."I am not using the DEQX Mate, that was a reply I gave to Ozzy as he was looking for something with only speaker correction. My DEQX is the HDP3... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Psag, maybe you misread what I said - here was my comment from an earlier post:"when I compared the DEQX DAC to the Chord 64 I was previously using, it was more lively sounding and I happily used this as a replacement. I like very precise transien... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? "So, if I have a Dac that I like and only want the speaker correction function , is there a Deqx unit that just does that?"Yes, the DEQX Mate does that. Use this link.... http://www.deqx.com/product-deqxmate-overview.php....and look at 'comparison... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Allmarg is correct, apologies if I confused everybody, in my country a single ended input is often called a 'phono' socket. A phono stage is something else entirelyI should also point out that the latest HDP4 processor uses an entirely different (... |
