Deqx vs. Behringer or Dbx Digital Crossovers?


Can you guys share your direct comparison's between theese different crossovers. I know, I know the Deqx is the cat's meow. O.K maybe it is, Tell me why. How is the sound better? And what makes it better? D/A converters? Wiring? Power supply? Has anyone Directly A/B compared these units?
I am using the Behringer and love the concept of Active crossovers. And the digital ones have nice features. But the real question is, is it worth the extra dollars to spring for the Deqx? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your comments guys.
I am already biamped. Triamped actually using the Behringer as a 3 way crossover with seperate amp channels for all drivers. It sounds very good. Very good! But with the quality of amps I have a passive crossover would sound very good if properly designed.

I am just trying to figure out whether the jump up to the DEQX would be a significant audible difference to my system.

Are there others who have made the jump from low cost digital (Behringer or DBX) to Deqx crossovers? Maybe most Deqx users have never used other digital crossovers?

Are there any direct comparisons in the same speaker system?

Thanks.

Sorry Gregm. In reading your post I didn't realize a Behringer was used in the system before the Deqx. I simply thought that you had heard a system with a Deqx. My bad.

Maybe I should just give the Deqx a try myself.
It's only money, right?
What choice do I have? Sit back and listen to the music?
No way!
Us crazy audio adicts always have to be fiddling with something.

Well I paid $227 for my unit, so I guess you get what you pay for. Right? We all new that.

I must add, since I have gone all digital with the Behringer I have become unsatisfied with the sound. It is a little harsh or cold. Reminds me of the Analog vs. CD differences debate. The DEQX is undoubtedly more refined and musical for Audiophile use. I am quite sure I have my answer.
The Behringer is a very flexible and easy to use unit. It is also very inexpensive. But it is clearly not quite up to Audiophile SQ standards for high end home systems.
