Well, most people would choose the FBQ2496. The DEQ has a graphic eq you're paying for and not likely using. Not that the DEQ isn't a good device....
Brucek, I did a bit of research here, http://www.hometheatershack.com/foru...s-deq2496.html and http://www.hometheatershack.com/foru...e-so-much.html and http://home.comcast.net/~thomasw-2/S...ndEQpage6.html

So, when eqing a sub, I only need parametric filters and not a graphic eq? And it was those 'shelf filters' that I was talking about earlier when I said 'demi linkwitz filter'. I thought only the DCX model has this feature??? And this is the only way to help get a flat fr <10hz??....as discussed here:
http://home.comcast.net/~thomasw-2/S...EQ2496-LT.html

And Brucek, I also wanted 2 seperate peq parameters, 1. for HT, and 2. for music only. I 'think', only the DCX model does this...true?

No, the single plug on the right side of the picture above is the stereo 1/8" plug that has the right and left channel connection. It plugs into the soundcard jack.
The left hand side of the picture with the two plugs are the right and left channel split into 1/8" mono plugs....
Got it!!

Yeah, the ECM is balanced and plugs into the balanced input of the preamp directly as shown below or with a standard XLR cable you referenced before.



The output channel of the preamp is balanced, but you want it to be unbalanced to match the soundcard. So you use a 1/4" TS phono as shown in the picture. The cable can have a mono 1/8" or RCA plug onthe other end to connect to the mono left or right channel of the soundcard line-in....


No, the soundcard uses stereo 1/8" jacks as we discussed above. The adapter splitter we discussed above splits into left and right channel. Connect that to the receiver from the line-out of the soundcard. The receiver would use RCA's.

Again, got it!! Thanks so much Brucek for helping me out.
