But most drc boxes i know of have digital inputs so you be using there dacs or they also sport a digital output so you can use whatever dac you fancy. digital processing can be made tranparent, and in all cases the vast improvements you get should swamp any tiny degradation you theoretically could get from another spdiff or tos interface, but modern dac have no problem rejecting that. my digital preamp has drc < 300 hz to fix bassnodes etc. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
