RE: DDX3216 - Too good to be true?
There is no dedicated EQ on the returns.
But, theoretically, you could route sends from channels from 1-16 into the internal fx and then route them back through channels 17-32 via the bus and use their Channel EQ, compressors and limiters You would lose the other 16 channels, though. I'm not totally sure about this, but looking at the manual, it seems absolutely possible. The routing on this thing is crazy.
The best part is the 2 expansion cards. I could install a pair of adat or tdif cards which have 16 digital inputs and outputs on each. I could reroute the 4 aux sends and returns through one of the digital cards and then I'd have two digital stereo pairs of 24 bit aux sends and returns. I'm, thinking of hooking up a Lexicon to this baby.
With 2 cards installed you can have:
32 channels digital input, 32 channels digital output, 16 channels analogue input, four digital aux sends and returns.
Great, flexible console. Just wish that card problem wasn't so.
