No, it's not like that. I need the preamp function and the analog output for the subwoofer with all its settings. my speakers are fully digital and prefer digital inputs (coax) but the subwoofer must be driven either by an LFE output or by a preout with DSP
Ok, but for ultimate streamer performance anything else added contributes to noise and interference. For ultimate quality:
Streamer > DAC > Analog amplification.
Ultra is good. To make it better make it strictly a streamer. And no screen. IMO.
