The new DEQX is the same as the HAWK TUAH meme coin. What a cheap arse company DEQX is spending all that money developing what is essentially a BOX with some new, literally untested hardware in it, releasing it as a BETA PRODUCT at half price and getting your customers to do all the testing and take all the risk.

NOW WE EMPLOY A TEAM OF PEOLE TO FIX WHAT IS ESSENTIALLY A PRODUCT FULL OF FAULTS. One would hope that this is the end of this s**te company who have played on their Fairlight laurels since 19?? whatever. The guy who reached out for help on the NO-BENCH-TEST-PLUG-FEST forum for help after they don't answer the phone or email, DEQX then post their new staff list and completely ignore this guys plea for help, I bet you he feels real comforted by the support he has. Talk about a s**t response.

Then there are the shills for it on Rushtons NO-BENCH-TEST-PLUG-FEST extolling its virtues like that Wrongy moron who says in one breath its no better than MiniDSP and then says its a good product and you should buy it in the next. He's like the KIM-JONG-UN of the NO-BENCH-TEST-PLUG-FEST forum. Then he slams Danville for using AudioWeaver as being too hard to use. If you don't understand how AudioWeaver works then you have no right to be messing with speaker and crossover design in the first place and you should keep your blow fly trap shut. Implementing an AudioWeaver design is fairly straightforward provided you understand speaker design and the get the basics right in the first instance. Old Wrongy boy appears to not have the brains to be able to do that as he continually hangs s**t on AudioWeaver as being a developers tool. He's not as smart as he thinks he is if he cannot work out a drag and drop software program. AudioWeaver is not the problem here, it's people like Wrongy boy who are the problem. A poor tradesman always blames his tools. There are people out there who know how to use it and can use it very well, so instead of hanging s**t on a product that is mature, finished and works and shilling for a product that's a box of crap full of faults that sounds like a packet of rice bubbles with 2 litres of milk tipped in it, maybe you should just shut your pie hole and stick to Mini DSP as that's all you seem to be capable of using. Have you even used Danville Wrongy Boy? NO I would say you haven't so you should just shut the f**k up. If you cannot use a product because you are not smart enough then keep your opinion in your pie hole, DON'T BLAME THE PRODUCT AND DON"T THINK FOR ONE MINUTE EVERYONE IS AS STUPID AS YOU.

Tough luck for the guy who bought one and now has the worlds most clear sound of the snap-crackle-pop of a fresh bowl of rice bubbles. You poor bastard.

Could you imagine if the likes of Cambridge Audio  or CHORD or any reputable audio manufacturer for that matter  did that, launched a BETA PRODUCT on the public and then started leaving them high and dry?

One wonders how much these buffoons poured into the development of the new case because they certainly didn't spend up on their R & D on the s**t inside the new box. Running UNIX on a phone chip? They should sack the guy who came up with that idea. Oh wait they did.

If this guy is getting rice bubble music after a couple of hours how long and thoroughly did DEQX test this in the factory before they shoved it out the back door. Obviously not very long and thorough as the poor bastard who essentially has an unusable system after a couple of hours found out. The unit should come with a warning that HIGH VOLUME LEVELS ARE NOT SUITABLE THIS PRODUCT.

Having designed and built a 4 way active system from the ground up using unique damping materials and internal box construction that no other manufacturer is using, designing a 4 way crossover with AudioWeaver took 10 minutes. Perfectly flat response, perfectly time aligned.

Its typical Wrongy misrepresenting a product by pretending he's an engineer but In reality he's just another dick. If he reckons he knows so much he should be able to eat AudioWeaver for breakfast. Al Clarkes post put him in his place. Perhaps he should build his own 8 way crossover.

I'm waiting for DEQX measurements, I know I will die before they produce them and anyone that reviews it (read Stereonet here) wont do any measurements because they cant.

Big missed opportunity. Another Australian company potentially on the way out.

A comment from a HiFi show visitor. Marc made such a song and dance about the Australian Launch of the new "Gen 4" and what happens?

The screen works and thats it. I wonder how much DEQX paid for that 3 day escapade to demo the screen. This would have to be the one of the worst disaster launches in Aus HiFi history. Why did they even bother showing up? I can see now why Kyron are also in the s**t from this inept bunch of clowns who still rest on their laurels from an organ from the 70's. That's all they seem to be able to do is go back 50 years.

This audio pioneer is set to transform the way you hear music

Kim Ryrie, the man who revolutionised the music-recording industry in 1979, has been fine-tuning a device that makes high-quality sound way more affordable.

DEQX have transformed the way you listen to music by demonstrating a 5 inch screen in a box with a knob. AFR hailed this as the breakthrough the audio world has waited for since, well basically 1920.

“I flicked the switch,� Ryrie says, indicating the silver box on the table. On it is written: DEQX speaker/room calibration processor. When in fact its a Raspberry Pi in a box with a knob.

That whole AFR pump up was just a load of s**t.

Even Amir said its not much better than MiniDSP. Now thats an embarrassment considering the price difference.

Kyron have updated their Gay-ear. With no new offerings from DEQX they must still be using that old klunker from above. I don't know how they can claim what they do about sound quality when the DEQX performs as bad as it does. That sine wave is truly s**t. I don't see how Kyron can charge $250k+ when the electronics they are selling with the loudspeaker is as terrible as what the measurements above show.

Excellent work as usual David.

Once again proving that the DEQX is a pile of junk.

Very Impressive Dave.

Excellent job there Yoke. Nothing like doing it yourself better than the big names can do it.

My 4 way active.

1st order xover.

Without doubt the best sound I have heard. Superb midrange like you have never heard.
