Behringer SRC2496 Customer Review

Feature:
Top ratings because it does what it is advertised to do; nothing more, nothing less.

Quality:
No wall-warts. This will stay in a rack in the studio. I cannot attest to its durability on the road, although I don't know why anyone would take it with them.

Value:
For digital-only connections, you'll get more features than the only other item in the price range, the ART DI/O.

Desirability:
Behringer products look ... like Behringer products. Surprisingly, aesthetically much better than the older SRC2000. Of course, not even close to t.c. electronic in visual appeal, but it does what it is supposed to.

Sound:
Gain can be adjusted for analog, but cannot cut/boost for digital. If digital signal is high, a little distortion may be introduced. I don't particularly find the "emphasis" all that useful, but your mileage may vary. It's probably more intended for analog; I should read the manual.

Support:
Haven't needed it, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. However, I wish I didn't have to pay internation postage for the registration card.

Overall:
I'll use this until it burns out.

"Value, Features, Awesome Sound- 10 overall EASY."

Feature:
It does everything. DAC, ADC, SRC, digital patchbay- And the connectivity leaves me wanting nothing. It even has a decent, though not great headphone pre. I don't know of another product that has this feature set and all of this connectivity.

Quality:
It's typical behringer, of course. Dubious chinese build quality all the way. Cheesy connectors, case and controls. I wouldn't want to depend on it for a mission critical project, but for my own home use I'm 100% satisfied..As long as it doesn't catch on fire!

Value:
I'd give it a 12 here. Again, nothing else I know of does all this for 10X the price.

Desirability:
No sex appeal IMO. Again, it's typical Behringer. But the practicality and features made me want it and now that it's here, I'd never want to let it go...Well, when better chips come out I'll sell it.

Sound:
Best sound-to-dollar ratio DAC in the world? Maybe. It does sound every bit as good as a Benchmark DAC1 even when driven with a cheezy S/PDIF signal from a cheezy consumer sound card. I'm impressed. I really didn't expect this much performance for the price.

Ease of Use:
Some of the lights and buttons could have been labeled with better, more appropriate and intuitive terms, but I'm used to it. Took about a day for me to be 100% confident in using it, now it's a no-brainer and I use it with zero lag on my part.

Support:
I've had it a week, haaven't needed support.

Overall:
I still can't believe it retails for $129 and Behringer AND the retailer both make proffit. Amazing.

Description

From Our Catalog
Like its predecessor, Behringer's new Ultramatch enables you to transfer digital audio signals between devices with different sample rates, formats or interfaces, disable SCMS for 1:1 digital copies and remove dropouts or jitter from digital media. Simultaneously operable outputs offer splitter functionality, and the 24-bit/96-kHz compatible SRC2496 now offers A/D and D/A conversion.

Features:

Format conversion between AES/EBU and S/PDIF (coaxial or optical)

Converts 30 kHz to 100 kHz sample rates into 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz

High-quality signal output with 16-, 20- or 24-bit resolution

Universal sample rate synchronization via wordclock or digital input

Allows parallel A/D and D/A conversion at identical sample rate

Removes jitter and corrects incorrect sample rates

Allows direct manipulation of emphasis and copy-protection bits

XLR, RCA and optical outputs simultaneously operational, inputs separately selectable
Combine multiple digital sources with this versatile format converter! Automatic conversion between S/PDIF and AES/BU files. Unifies sample rates from 30 kHz to 100 kHz to preset rate or wordclock sync. Selectable bit-depth output. Simultaneous operation of XLR, RCA, and optical outs.
