    New DEQX HDP-3 Express

    Yes, I have it but I use it now for 2 channel only. To be honest I liked the passive control better. I am going to change the system for bi-amping in few weeks. Then I will take advantage of its multichannel control. Actually if there was an analog volume control in my unit I would not buy it...

    New DEQX HDP-3 Express

    If you mean 6 jumpers responsible for channel gain they are removable.

I will ask somebody else with better skills. But...

    New DEQX HDP-3 Express

What is more I pretty sure that the firmware and software is exactly the same for all DEQX units based on rev. 6 board. And since it is 2.6p model it shall work. However I am...

    New DEQX HDP-3 Express

    I have opened my PDC-2.6P yesterday and I do know why but there are no PGA3220/CS3110 chips which are responsible for analog volume control. There is space to solder them but there are none. I just wonder if it is that easy just to buy 3 chips and solder them in? This unit has the newest board...

    Tact vs DEQX

    Actually, Alan did write to me that I can buy the remote control becouse there is IR receiver. What suprise me is the fact that I have never found an option to have an analog volume control or not in 2.6P model. Even a sigle mention in whole ad materials. The only options were to have balanced...

    Hi guys, I have a question regarding Deqx 2.6p. I bought it second-hand without remote control. When I wrote an email to DEQX to find out about the possibility to buy one I got a strange reply. (...) The unit you have is not the c=version with pre-amp analog volume control. Ow that I have...
