Trust Schiit Loki

For more precise adjustments you have dsp.

Yeah you could go that way and say good by to the treasured sound of your favorite dac you spent $$$$$ on. And then instead listen to whatever unknown cheap delta sigma dac is inside the digital room/speaker/equalizer processor.
Me I prefer to list to the sound of my treasured MSB discrete R2R dac and use the Loki when I need it.

Don´t know of any dsp processor that hasn´t got digital in/out.

That’s right and that dac is taking the place of your pride and joy dac if you had one you liked, do you want this, cause then you may as well sell your prized dac.

Because there’s no sense (nutz) in going from digital source into your prized dac the from it’s analog out into the analog in of digital speaker/room/eq/xover processor. you’d be going D to D/A to A/D then D/A

You’d go digital source straight to the digital input of the digital in on the speaker/room/eq/xover processor. So you’d go D to D/A

Say by-by great dac that you owned, for whatever junk d/a converter and analog stage is in the processor.

Then if you didn’t own a dac you loved the sound of, then it doesn’t matter what you hear.

Playing cd or streaming it´s digital only to the dac. External or internal. Your choise. Playing vinyl it would be an extra A/D and D/A. Or use a Loki.

“But yeah, whatever sounds best, do it.  I think it’s slightly comical that we’ll elevate cables, have everything placed within an 1/8 of an inch, panels hanging on our walls, sit in exactly the right place, but tone controls?  Oh hell no.”

i totally agree with that comment from b_limo.
