I bought the EQDIR Interface Module and the 6 foot male-female DB-9 extension cable. Landed AU$68. Much cheaper than the cost of the hc.

The EQDIR dongle works well. But with it, you also need a long serial cable back to your PC plus (if your PC is a newish one and doesn't have a serial port) a USB-Serial converter. Getting expensive.
Instead, I use a Bluetooth dongle on the PC and a BluEQ dongle that is both a DSUSB and a Bluetooth/serial converter in-one. Saves a lot and avoids cable clutter. Works well.
