It may be from the spdif mod? i doubt that behringer would have released dcx2496 if it was present? Just strange.
Can grounded pin prevent a swing in the phase? May it be the PSU that aging?

I use the behringer src -deq-dcx in that order,the deq and dcx are about 3metres from the src ,the src is with the cd and pre-amp in my listening position.
When the dull odd sound happens i just toggle between src and ad or change the conversion rate,this always sorts out the problem,have never had to power anything off.
I've tried sending 96 -88 -44 but they all have the same problem,never new which unit was causing the problem though.
I've used these units for many years now and often press the button just to make sure that everything is locked in.
Apart from this minor irritation i would not part with them ,if only there was a quick fix!!!

Stupid question
Background:
I have a modified DCX2496 running for a long time in my system. I have installed the Pilgham Audio analog and clock mods. I use it with SPDIF input only directly from a computer.
lately, it started giving me troubles. it started with digital hiccups and now it is completely mute.
Question:
until all this started, I had my unit on all of the time. in order to reset it I turned it off and on again. it doesn't turn on immediately but blinks its display and one column of leds on the input leds and output leds for some time before it steadies. is this normal or hints of a problem? I simply don't remember how it behaved when it was OK since I never turned it off...

Have you checked your power supply capacitors? I think they often go bad in these units - Behringer are known to use low quality electros at times.
capacitors
visually they look fine.
checking voltage with a Fluke on the connector to the DSP board also looks fine.
Should it blink or not?

Get one of those cheap chinese ESR meters that can measure in-circuit. Truly invaluable tool - many electrolytics that look perfectly OK can still have dried out
.
can have bad diodes too, Behringer iNuke series International Rectifier sold them some iffy stuff. I used to trouble shoot for a living, we always O-scoped the DC rails on AC. Careful not to apply GND with a scope probe GND where it does not belong Better to float and guess
blinking
Thank you for the clip
noting like what I see. mine blinks itself for ages before the screen is fixed and the leds blank.

I will have a better look on them and try to measure, or simply replace them all

Thanks, I knew it was a dumb question🙂 I used it to time(distance) align a couple of oddly placed subwoofers with my mains. Slightly odd arrangement of short and long delay, long could be set individually, short linked the two mains together, thankfully this is what I wanted to do
Silliness aside, any change in the signal is distortion and must also include freq aberrations (duh).
Some of these changes prolly can be measured in the usual ways. But these changes aren't necessarily audible or if you can set up a lab-like test in which they are audible on special test tones, they still may not be audible at home with music (or your music may sound better with the delay).
