 I suppose it comes down to the quality of your system. I know I tested the unit on my mains for fun one day and it was quite poor. The best way to test this is to insert the BFD between the preamp and amplifier on one channel. This would allow you to listen to a channel without the unit and another with the unit. For myself, the noise floor was so high, I find it hard to believe anyone uses this for anything but the subwoofer channel.
The spec shows a 94dB noise figure with crosstalk of 76dB. Not too good compared to many systems today.
I would look to a higher quality device for my full range mains duty..

I doubt it was the actual "noise floor" you were hearing. Did you try to lift the ground? Usually most Behringer units give all sorts of hums and hisses unless the ground is lifted. I run my LCR+sub(s) channels through the DCX2496 and I can't hear the noise floor (hiss) unless I put my ear less than ~10" from the tweeter.
