My DEQ/DCX combo should be arriving today!
I remember a while back reading a post somewhere about connecting them together digitally and avoiding a pass thru the AD converters of the DCX. Can anyone tell me what kind of cable I will need to make that connection so I can pick it up on my way home from work?
I'm sure it's probably in the manual when it gets here, but if I can get an answer today while I'm at work I can play with it tonight.
:iitp:
There is no smilie for "it's in the manual"...

Re: DEQ/DCX
It's an AES/EBU cable. Basically identical to an XLR mic lead but the cable has a different resistance.
Here's an example:

Re: DEQ/DCX
You are correct. But if the distance remains short, a standard XLR will do. I've never experienced any problems with it. As I haven't experienced any problems using standard cinch cables of 5m for S/PDIF...Chris_Allen wrote:It's an AES/EBU cable.

Special AES/EBU cables are expensive, btw

+1 on SPDIF cables. I have used the cheapest cinch plugs and any shielded cable I had available for SPDIF, worked fine for me.thijs666 wrote:You are correct.
