I am sorry to say the Loki Max compares unfavorably to my professional analog hardware Charter Oak PEQ1. It will be returned. It certainly is quite transparent in the bypass and flat modes, but it cannot handle any significant amount of boost without missing something compared to the more expensive designed for studio mastering Charter Oak. It just is flatter and less musical than the CO, simply put. I’m not saying it’s bad. It’s just not that good. Furthermore, i own a Chord Mojo2 with 104 bit lossless processing and that device bested the Loki Max as well. By an obvious and considerable margin.
