Very interesting post. I purchased A DQX about 4 months ago or so, and am yet to install it. I have heard nothing about this software upgrade and cannot find any info on the website, what do I do to go about getting this updated?

 

There are 2 reasons to send the DQX back to A/C for upgrading.

1.) They are about to release a remote module to control it from you're dash. The DQX needs a firmware update to be compatable with the remote module. If you don't plan on buying the remote module, you are just fine.

2.) Some DQX's needed a software upgrade to allow the interface to work smoother. If you aren't having any difficulties navigating your menus, you are just fine.

I have had nothing but incredible customer support on my DQX. I believe in this product, and I'll continue to use it untill I can find something better.

For me, the best scenario is not to use the DQX at all. That is not a remark aimed at putting the DQX down. What I do mean, is that running a system with as few devices as possible between the head unit and speaker generally sounds better.

Less wire, less connections, and less amplifier stages have less effect on the original signal.

LESS anyone!?!?

I am still using my good old Orion DEQ 30. It's 5 yrs. old now. I think that it's a wonderful equalizer. Not as many options as the DQX, but very user friendly to operate.

 

DEQ30 has an optical input and an onboard DAC right?

does the AC DQX accept any type of digital input at all?

 

I started out just like you did Adam, I wasnt as critical as yourself, but we share the same goal. I opn the other hand started out with a DEQ30, love it, and still have it. But, I went to my local guys, and asked to try out the DQX right then. I inbtalled it, inplace of my trusty ole Orion, to see if it was "all that", and just lkike you found out, It was no where near what I thought it would be, and for that matter what I had read up on it, did not meet the expectations I thought it had. Long story shoprt, I kept the Orion piece, and will not buy the DQX. Sometimes technology has its benifits, but it also has more draw backs. The DQX is a nice piece, extemely flexible, but in my case more is not better!. Hope it works out for ya, you'll probably be spending several more days perfecdting the sound you are after, but as always, your effort will be rewarded, for the most important listener of your system, YOU!!!

 

i dont like eq of anykind, just time correction is all i use

 

Why don't you just spend 600 bucks and get a Behringer?

I've never really heard of anyone comparing an 8024 or a 2496 to a DEQ 30, DQT or any other digital EQ.

When I get mine back from Behringer would anybody be interested in doing a comparison?
