I have a DEQ2496 and would be quite surprised if you preferred its DAC to the Sony (I assume you have the 5400ES SACD/CD player?)
Question for Behringer DEQ2496 users
Just bought one of these to play around with. I don't have a separate DAC yet, so, for now, I just want to hear how the 2496's DAC sound.
I ran an optical cable from my Sony 5400 into the 2496, and have the XLR balanced outs from the 2496 connected to the balanced inputs of my amp (Parasound A21).
I get sound from the 2496 when I run the auto EQ, but I am not getting anything at all when I put in a CD and press play. I think I have the right input selected on the 2496, but I'm not sure if I also have to select the outputs or change input or output levels. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
