If you're going to add behringer hardware, why not get the dcx 2496 right from the start (if i remember correctly, they will do a stereo 3 way). I'm in the process of selling mine, but they can be gotten new for ~250-300. That would be a relatively cheap way of proving the concept to yourself. -- totoro squeezebox 3 -> mccormack dna .5 -> audio physic tempo 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ totoro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31656 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
