My view was that Inguz would take time and some messing around to set up & get workng, which is fine if you have the time to do that. I don't, so I picked up a s/h DEQ which I had plugged in and operational within 10 minutes. I'm currently using homemade AES cables (XLR plugs) and it works just fine, although I have a couple of Toslink cables on order to see if I can hear any difference. My suggestion would be to try and pick up a s/h DEQ and give it a go. You can always sell it on if it's not for you. R. -- "Feed that ego and you starve the soul" - Colonel J.D.
