my new gadget/sound device

thinking about selling the dac and the whole shabang...

so i'm thinking about streamlining my signal path since i have a computer and I'm thinking about selling my audiophile grade dac, balanced attenuator, and even my balanced 3 way butler/phaze x-over and i'll also consider selling my phase balanced line driver/converter (turns an unbalanced signal into a balanced signal... of course you wont need that if you get the dac but it's available)

this is sort of a unique system but i thought i'd throw it out there in case anyone was interested.

here is some info on the components:
dac:

122 s/n ratio, 192/24 bit, balanced output

volume control:

the x-over is a 'tube' x-over with 12 or 24 db slopes. high pass, band pass and low pass outputs.

if anyone wants a high end signal path with no noise this is your way to go. you dont have to have a balanced amp either. you can convert it to unbalanced with one solder

lol, selling it for the Behringer?

considering it :-) still doing research. I'm thinking that any sound degradation that the behringer will introduce will be masked by my loud exhaust but i'll have some added tuning functionality that wont need to be handled by the computer

actually the Behringer DCX2496 is regarded pretty highly as an active budget crossover. Nothing can really touch it in this price range. So not all behringer products are junk.

Scott why not keep it and feed it into the behringer? Or are you trying not to spend more $$?
