CA 840c vs modded Behringer 2496 DEQ

Mike,

Stop reading the rot that gets trotted out by 'experts' in these places and try an 840 for 30 days. If you don't like it Richers will refund your money.
I'm sure that Simon will be glad to let you hear the AS DEQ.

Make your own mind up against whatever you currently use.

regards,

Rob.

 

The above is excellent advice.

Consumer digital audio has had over 20 years of development, the last 10 increasingly in the public eye via the internet. In this time the basic 16bit/44.1Khz standard hasn't moved on, but the ways to extract the best out of it have, almost all of which come down to good analogue engineering

This necessarily means that differences between basically-competant approaches these days are small. Listen, judge for yourself against your budget -and above all, enjoy.

 

George, do you own a cambridge, have you modded one or heard a well modified one? Any arsehole can swap out resistors and capacitors to make no difference at all, there are plenty offering this sort of service on the web. (not meaning tenson here).

getting a piece of gear modified by a career audio electronics engineer is a little bit different to just having someone who's handy with a soldering iron and has a farnell/digikey account stuff some parts in your box.

the 840 might not be xo sound quality, but it aint xo price either.
