Introduction:
The Behringer DCX2496 is the processor needed when it comes to line level crossover
applications (its processed in the digital domain!!) and some light system room equalization
as well. The downfalls of this commercial piece is the serious lack of quality of parts used
within along with poor circuit design that create many sonic bottlenecks. We have designed
some really great modification improvement and complete rebuild packages to skyrocket the
performance of the DCX2496 to stratospheric levels no matter which way you wish to utilize
this unit in your application.
We offer 2 different cutting edge modification rebuild packages for different
budgets and applications.
Analog Plus Modification package-
This is a radical improvement over the analog modification package. The entire stock DCX
input/ouput board is completely removed and the analog inputs A+B and Outputs 1-2 are
"transformer coupled" via high performance signal coupling transformers to the input and
then the outputs of the 2496 circuit board. This is the most optimal way that we know to do
the input and output circuits for the best possible sound. Transformer coupling also isolates
noise, since both the inputs and outputs are passive coupled, this will effectively increase
the S/N ratio as the transformer block high frequency noise being generated by your other
equipment connecting to the DCX. This modification rebuild removes the signal parts such
as opamps, signal coupling capacitors, signal relays and such for the best sound. The
Power Supply is modified with superior parts. The 2496 DSP board is modified with capacitor
replacements, DEXA UWB ultra high performance voltage regulators to power all circuits,
and the stock 2496 clocking is replaced with the DEXA D-clock to reduce jitter dramatically.
This package is intended for the serious CS3 or such user who wants the "real deal" out of
the DCX2496. The difference between a stock DCX and this mod package is night and day.
Complete "transformation". The inputs and outputs can be either XLR (true balanced) or
RCA all through, just let us know which you prefer.
Analog EXTREME Modification Package-
This is our "cost no limits" analog modification package for the most demanding customer
that uses the analog inputs and outputs. Like in the Analog Plus mod package, the inputs
and output are completely transformer coupled. This package uses the best sounding
premium grade signal coupling transformers we offer for the absolute best sound. The same
power supply mods are done as in analog plus package. The DSP board is modified the
same also as analog plus package, however we install the DEXA Neutron Star Flagship
Reference Clock for the 2496 processing circuit for the lowest amount of noise and jitter
on the reference clock signal possible. If your searching for the best sounding DCX2496 in
the world to revolutionize the sound of your custom project or CS3 speaker system you need
to take advantage of this State of the Art performance that is found no where else! The
inputs and outputs can be either XLR (true balanced) or RCA all through, just let us know
which you prefer.
Everyone who owns the Emerald Physic CS3 or other speaker systems that can use the
DCX for 2ch crossover applications needs one of these mod packages to really experience
the most out of those speakers!

Audiogon Customer Testimonial-
Doug modified a Behringer DCX 2496 unit and his work is outstanding. His work
is helping me to fully realize the potential of my Emerald Physics CS2 speakers. I
will be having more work done by ASi in the future. My highest recommendation.

Power Supply Modifications-
We replace critical capacitors and diodes in the SMPS power supply and DSP Board with
Ultra Low Impedance Rubycon and Panasonic capacitors and ultra fast diode rectifiers. The
Rubycon/Panasonic caps are very fast reacting capacitors with ultra low impedance and
high ripple current qualities. We replace 2 critical +5vdc voltage regulators that power the
critical DSP circuits and the AKM DAC chips with the new DEXA UWB ultra low noise
regulators for a major performance improvement to those respective circuits.
DEXA Reference Clock Upgrade-
We add a reference quality jitter reduction circuit called DEXA clock to replace the stock
24/96khz circuit reference crystal oscillator for a drastic reduction in jitter in the digital
circuits. Expanded soundstaging, additional low level detail, focus and resolution are
examples of this major mod component. The DEXA clock has a very unique feature,
unlike other clocks on the market, as the clock signal is isolated from the power supply
ground, so you get no ground loop, and also you get no Mains Noise injection. This
eliminates the need of a dedicated (and costly) external dedicated power supply for the new
clock.
Complete Input/Output Board removal, Transformer coupled Input and output stage
The entire stock DCX input/ouput board is completely removed and the analog inputs A+B
and Outputs 1-2 are "transformer coupled" via high performance signal coupling
transformers to the input and then the outputs of the 2496 circuit board. ASi custom silver
wire is used for all connections. This is the most optimal way that we know to do the input
and output circuits for the best sound. Transformer coupling also isolates noise, since both
the inputs and outputs are passive coupled, this will effectively increase the S/N ratio as the
transformer block high frequency noise being generated by your other equipment
connecting to the DCX. This modification rebuild removes the signal parts such as opamps,
signal coupling capacitors, signal relays and such for the best sound possible.
The Input and output is TRUE BALANCED via XLR! We can also install RCA's instead of the
XLR's for all channels, please let us know which you would like.
Stop the compromises!
If your DCX isn't transformer coupled, your DCX hasn't been "transformed"!
NOTE: Analog inputs A/B can be removed from this mod and we can install a optimal digital
input instead of feeding in analog from a source. You can then run the 2ch outputs of the
DCX to your preamp. The pricing difference is noted above. Its $995 instead of $1195.
