The Behringer only does its stuff in the digital domain. So it does an AtoD and back again, and tbh the DAC and ADC are midfi.The Behringer looks really interesting.
Can it be used without the DAC i.e. if I fed it an analogue signal, can I output analogue without it going AD and then DA via the eq's internal DAC?
Is it XLR in and out only or does it except RCA?
All digital and it is transparent.
So, yes, it accepts analog inputs by XLR, but I doubt you'd want to go there.
But for a digital system it's a marvellous box of tricks. A very flexible and comprehensive equaliser, it's even got a stereo width adjuster which can be remarkably useful for some classical music recordings where things can get too widely spaced.
