| Does anyone know if there's any noticeable difference in sound quality between the db-Mark DP+ series and XCA+ series loudspeaker managment systems? |

You demo'd both DSP's did you? I meant to buy the XCA26+ but accidentally bought the DP26+I was thinking I might sell it and get an XCA26+ but wasn't sure if there'd be a very noticeable difference in audio quality. I haven't even used my DP26+ yet. |

I owned both as well as DCX, DC1, XTA DP226, 9088IIS, BLU, Minidrive. XCA28 is my fave sounding unit to date.

| The XCA28 has better sound quality than the XTA DP226? Wow that's impressive. |

Sound quality wise they're both about the same but the interface as in USB3.0 port on the XCA is what you prefer? I'll have to try and sell my DP26+ then and buy an XCA28, i've not even used my DP26+ yet and only bought it about four weeks ago. It's been sat in my living room.

I
don’t get this, why sell it if you haven’t even used it so have zero idea what
it actually sounds like?

| I've turned it on and run audio through it in my living room to test it out but i've not used it outside the house. I know it sounds good but if the XCA is better then i'll sell it and get an XCA. |

Well I bought it to use later in the year after the lockdown had ended as pubs started opening and I can start doing dance music parties in pubs in my area, I meant to order the XCA26 originally but got confused one morning when ordering it and ordered the DP26+. I figured yes it's a loss of money but if the XCA series is much better sounding then i'd rather have the XCA series, I was originally gonna get an XCA26 but I figured I might as well buy an XCA28 so I have two extra channels to be used for my dj monitors. Do you understand now the mistake I made and how I haven't used it yet but was intending to at pubs when they opened? I was thinking about contacting Blue Aran and asking them if I could return it because obviously it's unused and put the extra money towards the XCA but I doubt they'd do that. It was genuine mistake, I did like I said above mean to order the XCA.

| Won't hurt to ask if they'll take it back |

| I always feel embarrassed asking things like that, if I don't i'll keep the DP+ as a backup. |

| Try it out, sound is such a subjective thing and people value different things. This is why there are thousands of designs of speakers and cabinets. |

anyone compared a + and non + models? i've got a XCA26 and a DP28+ from reading andy's post, they are now by and large the same however i'm still wondering if the XCA still has the edge in sound quality, despite being a previous generation unit...
