Sold - thanks for all the interest.
I told a friend I'd help him sell his modified Behringer DCX2496 since I did the mods for him.
Over the last year I've built several heavily modified DCX2496 crossovers. This particular unit was built and almost never used, as the owner decided to sell the speakers he was going to use it with right after the XO was completed.
The mods to this unit are as follows:
All analog input/output replaced with Jan Didden's active I/O stage from Linear Audio. This offers not only fabulous analog I/O but remote control of volume and balance and the ability to adjust the gain of the L/M/H amps in the analog domain.
Clock/Input Receiver/Sample Rate Converter replaced with a new piece designed by Frank Oettle of Germany. This provides a very good clock with a jitter spec of 2.6ps, a much improved input receiver to replace the stock Crystal chip which has a bug when receiving 2/496 data. The new daughter board includes two ultra quiet voltage regulators to ensure clean power for the clock.
DAC chips replaced with AKM4396 "miricle" DACS. Units currently being modified do not have these available as I cannot obtain them.
All electrolytic caps on DSP/Digital board replaced with Black Gate.
Digital input rerouted from BNC jack directly to input transformer and transformer terminated with 75ohm precision resistor instead of stock 110ohm AES/EBU termination.
DEXA ultra low noise 5V regulators on DSP/Digital board replace 7805 regulators to supply clean voltage for the digital and analog sections of the DAC chips.
Felix style power input filter.
Additional LC filtering added after PS on analog supply lines.
Hard Maple end panels replace the nasty rack mounting ears.
Universal remote included.
Since this is essentially new and fully modified the asking price is $1800 $1,600. Current price for all mods is $1,550 - $1,600 (no end plates) depending on the Euro and of course includes a DCX which the mod only price does not.
He has 6 months remaining on the warranty which I will honor.
To sweeten the deal he has 2 pair of Stereovox Collibri cables with XLR on end and RCA on the other. He had these custom made by Stereovox at a cost of $800. If purchased with the DCX he'll let them go for $400.
If you are interested please PM or email me. Note that I am not making anything on this sale, which is why I'm posting it in the trading post and not industry ads. Several other AC members own these and can comment on how they sound, or rather don't sound as they are quite good at getting out of the way. Normally mods for these take 6-8 weeks depending on parts availability and my schedule. This one is ready to go and has DAC's that are not included in the newer units.
Thanks for looking.
Mike
