Hi,

Most of the key parts are the same as used by all the other in the business.

If you operate the EQ digital only than you have to connect it correctly to avoid jitter. The manual is not comprehensive in this context. If you use the EQ analog then, in stock condition it does impart a certain (small) degree of electronic sheen.

Note my comments apply ONLY to the earlier version of the DSP8024, the version currently sold cheaply appears to have altered circuits and parts, as well as a different firmware.

This is your inability to ensure correct matching, nothing to blame on the EQ. User error. Any digital equalisation system will suffer similar problems, as will any analog EQ if not used sensibly. You cannot boost a EQ slider 16db and expect the thing not to clip if the level prior to the boosting was "0db"...

Go buy an Accuphase.
