    This might be a better fit for Speaker subforum, but it can fit in here. After a long and nasty SMSL AO200 story, i've acquired JBL Stage A190 speakers and (... drumroll..) Denon DRA-800H (brand new). Decided to measure speaker response with UMIK-1 and REW. So here's the first set of...

    Decent DSP for E50/PA5

    Since i'd like to avoid software equalizer in Windows/Linux while E50 connected via USB, what device could you recommend that has DSP/Equalizer to connect to E50/PA5 combo? I'd like to reduce some frequencies output on JBL Stage A180 (50 Hz/100/200Hz).

    Yamaha R-N402D with JBL Stage A180 hiss/impendance
