Question is: What decent, flexible, high quality adjustment boxes
are there that would let me do what I want? I don't want one of the
multiband 'graphic equalisers' as they may well do more harm than
good!


Jim, the Behringer DEQ2496 may do what you need. I use one with my
Meridian 'speakers to EQ the last few dBs of error in the frequency
response above 200Hz. They have both analogue and digital I/O and
decent true-peak (I think) metering. It also has a measuring microphone
input if one wants to do Real-Time frequency analysis. A great box for
around £220.


Thanks. That looks very interesting. I'll have a read though the manual. It
also makes me think that it may be used between the digitial sources and
the actual dac. A quick glance at the manual makes me think it will follow
the input sample rate for spdif. Does that then always follow at output as
well, or can that be left at 24/96 as per its internal computations?

Is there a particular dealer you'd recommend? I may try contacting the
makers anyway for info/advice.

Slainte,

Jim
