After an in-home listening test, The DG-68 resolved a few issues Ive had with my speakers and room acoustics in my system. I have been struggling for years trying to get satisfactory bass from my horn loaded speakers, and the DG-68 so far has been performing wonderfully.
The DG-68 is currently positioned between my Pre-amp and AMP. While Im happy with the results, when Im listening through my DAC>Pre>DG-68, Im concerned that the sound signal is being processed by two separate DACS as the DG performs ADC>DAC internally and would potentially negate any benefits of a higher end DAC upstream.
The unit has digital inputs which I am willing to try but do not want to purchase the equipment yet unless I am confident it will work. There are two scenarios that I emailed Accuphase with and have not heard back. Unfortunately the accuphase dealer in my country doesn't speak good English and I has little experience with streaming, etc. I was hoping someone could help shed some light on the viability of these scenarios and any upsides/downsides.
Scenario One - Use a streaming bridge ( Auralic ) to digitally feed the DG-68 and use the internal DAC, output VIA analog on the DG-68.
Scenario Two - Use a streaming bridge to feed the DG-68, and digital outputs to feed an external DAC ( Im leaning towards a Chord HUGO TT2 or Qutest )
Thanks for any assistance with this setup.
