Power Supply, Input stage, and Output Stage 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. The numerous input and output stage
opamps are replaced with the best sounding, most transparent versions currently on
the market by national semiconductor and all the coupling/decoupling capacitors used
are replaced with the Rubycon Ultra Low Impedance caps. We replace a critical +5vdc
voltage regulator that power the critical DSP circuits with the new DEXA UWB ultra low
noise regulator for increased performance to those respective circuits. This upgrade
removes glare, removes grain, removes the stock high frequency problems, and adds
speed, dynamics and resolution and openess.

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 soundstages, 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.

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 commericial peice is the lack of quality of parts used within. We
have designed some really great modification improvement 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 4 different cutting edge modification rebuild packages for different
budgets and applications.

Analog Modification package-
This is a parts swap type of upgrade. This is the common type of modifications that you will
find out on the market. This features Power supply mods, input circuit opamp and capacitor
upgrades, some unnecessary stock parts deletions, 24/96 clocking circuit upgrade to DEXA
D-Clock and Output section opamp and capacitor upgrades. This package gets rid of the
stock harshness and hardness and bring out alot more music and real live sound through
the DCX for a much more enjoyable musical experience.

Analog Plus Modification package-
This is a radical improvement over the analog modification pacakge. The entire stock DCX
input/ouput board is completely removed and the analog inputs A+B and Outputs 1-4 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 I 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. 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 CS-2 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 perfer.

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. This is insane!  If you want the best sounding DCX2496
in the world to revelutionize the sound of your custom project or CS-2 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 perfer.

100% Digital DCX2496 Modification Package-
For the purists, ASi is first to offer a complete 100% true digital input to output Behringer
DCX2496. Basically you connect your digital source (ie: computer audio, cd transport, etc..)
to a now optimally modified SPDIF input circuit on INPUT C. On the side of the unit there is 3
SPDIF rca outputs (1 coaxial out per 2 channels) that can be connected to a digital
receiver(s) or processor. The signal inside the Behringer stays 100% pure digital! The
power supply is modified and the DSP board is modified with capacitor replacements, DEXA
UWB Voltage regulator and the stock clocking is replace with the DEXA D-Clock to reduce
jitter dramatically.  The stock analog inputs and outputs still work and are 100% functional.
We can also modify those circuits on request. This pacakage was designed for the purist
who wants a complete 100% digital system using panasonic AV receivers or other products
that will allow for a digtal input and volume control at the amplifier.


Everyone who owns the CS2's or other speaker systems that can use the DCX for crossver
applications needs one of these mod packages to really experience the most out of those
speakers!

Power Supply Modifications-

We replace critical capacitors and diodes in the SMPS power supply with Ultra Low
Impedance Rubycon capacitors
and ultra fast diode rectifiers. The Rubycon caps are
very  fast reacting capacitors. All voltage decoupling capacitors used are replaced with
the Rubycon Ultra Low Impedance caps. We replace a critical +5vdc voltage regulator
that power the critical DSP circuits with the new DEXA UWB ultra low noise regulators
for increased performance to those respective circuits. This upgrade removes glare,
removes grain, removes the stock high frequency problems, and adds speed, dynamics
and resolution and openess.

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.

Digital Input and Output stage-
The digital input section is redesigned to make it completely optimal for an incoming
SPDIF signal. A new high performance RCA jack is mounted to accept the incoming
digital signal. A custom made digital output board is mounted inside the DCX2496 unit
to peel off the serial data buses, masterclock and voltages from the modified DCX2496
board.

3 high performance silver RCA connectors are mounted to side of chassis to allow 6
output channels:
Digital Output Connector 1 carries Channel 1 and 2
Digital Output Connector 2 carries Channel 3 and 4
Digital Output Connector 3 carries Channel 5 and 6

All stock analog circuits, both input and outputs remain active!!

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 typical analog domain parts improvement
approach is most commonly taken with great results (look above). For the purists,
ASi is first to offer a complete 100% true digital input to output Behringer
DCX2496. Basically you connect your digital source (ie: computer audio, cd
transport, etc..) and there is 3 SPDIF outputs (1 coaxial out per 2 channels) that
can be connected to a digital receiver(s) or processor.
The signal inside the
Behringer stays 100% pure digital!
We will also be releasing a new custom mod
for the Panasonic XR55 and XR57 (100% digital receivers) to accept these signal
and be able to biamp or triamp your speakers via using only one low cost
panasonic receiver for stellar results since the entire system will be digital based.

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

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 1-4 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 I 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"!
