Can I hook up a dbx2031 equalizer to a yamaha5660 receiver?
highfigh Seriously, I have no life. Sep 1, 2018 #3 You could, but it's not stereo. It also uses Low Impedance connections, so you would need to deal with that, too. Plus, the Yamaha doesn't have a tape loop and a way to use this.

Still cant find time to set it up properly.

So, MiniDSP doesn't- its bands are spaced an octave apart and the dbx has 1/3 octave spacing. Not equal, in that regard but the dbx is ONLY an equalizer.

From the minidsp page "Graphic equalizer: This bank of filters will increase or decrease the signal at a specific frequency. Depending of the MiniDSP firmware configuration, you may have 31 bands (also called 1/3 octave) or 15 bands (2/3 octave) available. By boosting/dampening the signal at certain frequencies, speaker equalization is the most common tool for system tuning"
