It's speaker cable and it belonged to a friend who sadly died and his
wife is asking me to dispose of everything for her. I reckon it's
probably about 5 years old as I can remeber him getting it when he
bought new speakers and I know he didn't make it up himself - possible
that the dealer made it
Sorry, I can only tell the difference between cables blind ;)

If you can, try removing the DEQ from your system.
I did use a DEQ for a while as my old lounge benefitted from the room
correction. However, in my new room, it caused more problems than it
solved. So it's clearly room dependant regarding benefits, but be

There are several advantages.
1) re: jitter it's best to have the data transmitted asynchronously,
stored in memory, and then clocked out to a local DAC with a local
oscillator. That minimizes jitter at the DAC in the simplest and best
way possible. A USB implementation may or may not be able
I asked the same question in the Duet announcement thread and Sean
