- Another great product in the budget category from @doukaudio
The T7 equalizer/ tone control. At $99.99 USD, JUST CAN NOT BE BEAT.
Sure you can get (very) slightly better sound, but at 3x the price.
This unit is special for it's combination of EQ bands, SE and BAL ins and outs AS WELL as the price point. I still like my Lokius, but I'd recommend the Douk T7 to my friends first.

I agree 100% on your review of this product. However, I believe you can make big improvements to the T7 EQ. I opened the Douk Audio T7 EQ and it has 15 swappable op-amps. I only peeked inside. I seen that the op-amps have the state of Texas stamped on them. I believe they are Ti NE5532p op-amps. If so, they could be swapped out with the Burson V5i dual discrete op-amps, and/or the Sparkos SS3602 dual discrete op-amps. Which should make a marked improvement of the audio character of the device.
Hey Dungy. Thanks for watching. Yeah, I agree with you as well. You can upgrade just about anything if you want to spend the extra money.
Thanks for the review, you cover products that other reviewers miss. This T7 is very intriguing at a low cost, no doubt!
Thanks! And thank you for watching. I'm semi-retired so don't have a giant budget, but I'm trying to get ahold of different things. I want to try a few all in ones from Denon and Philips later for people with a more modest budget. 👍
Douk-ONE little bear really has been a force in Chi-Fi audio,...I have been enjoying a few of their products recently. And everything at good, cheap prices. Last year I bought a "no-name" 7 band EQ for about $26, it is sold as a headphone amp, it sports RCA and 3.5 mm in/outs and has a volume control. Liked it so much I got another, and it runs on 5V for portable use!
Yeah, it's great to find good deals!! Thanks for watching!
How are the opamps? How much and worth upgrading?
Probably not worth upgrading. But if you do, you might get a better SNR and cleaner sound, but you'll have to desolder the old ones and solder in a riser. I think this EQ is best left alone as a value EQ as is. I like it as is, for what it is.
@@RickRuizAudio This is really good to know. Thank you. Also, FYI.. the T8 pro has upgradable opamps....which you may have known already. I would like to see all new audio equipment come with upgradable op amp sockets. The end user can have a choice in sound character of the device which is always a good thing.
