After using a bunch od DB mark and other chinese DSPs over the last decade or so, i still belive that it is not an upgrade to the DCX. Untill your have 1K+ for a DSP, nothing touch the DCX.
Argue waht ever you want but i stay on my opinion. :)

I gotta say though, the new XCA+ add more features than the last revision. Playing around with a fresh XCA24+ at the moment. They've added Dynamic EQ, and the software is better, plus now they are IP based and can apparently link a bunch up on a LAN, so no need to use the dial on the front. Chassis build is way stronger/better than the DCX. Would like more than 6 EQ points on each output though for fine detailing that would be nice but I guess I'm used to Hypex where they give 15 per output.

I've had a DCX since maybe 2014 with 0 issues.

My XCA28 since maybe 2016 and no issues except for an orange comp light that gets stuck on once it triggers on output 5 every so often. Think it's just the light tho, no actual limiting occurring.

Plus you can now edit what shows on the front page of the XCA so you can write "leave this processor the f*^k alone" if you wanted LOL

does the password protection disable the front panel or does it just lock you out the control software?

Looks like you can lock all the hardware functionality on the device with a password or just some of it:

They're complaining over there, but it's their fault!

They do seem like good units and I did like my DCX a lot when i had it but sadly I had to sell it a while back. I've since picked up a BSS Soundweb 9088iis for a good price, which is working ok for me at the moment with the control software, but I'm not so sure about its relative sound quality - it might be a bit noisy as far as I can tell in my initial tests but I'm not sure if it's the rest of my system of the device itself. Have you used these Soundwebs much before MarjanM?

I have both the DCX and XCA28 in active use. I've done A/B testing side by side and I swear the dbmark sounds better.

Im using the xca28+ in a studio setting used a dcx before.
First thing that was obvious was much much less noise making the sound more transparent and clear in the start. Now the nuances i dont know but the dcx was definately not made with studios in mind.
But the xca has a small fan which has a horrid buzz , I got used to it tho.
Wonder if it could handle the heat without it Smile
