Legacy Wavelet as Preamp/DAC/DSP vs just DSP


I am upgrading from a Legacy Focus SE to a Legacy Aeris and Wavelet system. Many folks tend to use the Wavelet as an all in one and end up walking away from thei preamp and DAC separates. I’m skeptical of doing that, as I love my PS Audio Directstream DAC and Modwright LS 36.5 DM preamp. I can’t imagine the Wavelet would beat those.

I’d love to hear others’ journeys with the Wavelet. Did you find it bested your preamp and DAC? Did you end up using it just for your DSP? What preamp, DAC and cables did you use it with, and what did the A/B tests reveal?

Also, has anyone used it only to process the bass section only and used the rest of the output straight from the preamp? Is that even possible?
Thanks for sharing.

I hope this thread generates many replies.  I presently use  a DEQX HDP-3 DSP as a preamp, crossover, speaker correction, room correction, time correction, etc. component for my triamplified fully horn loaded system.  I would like to learn more about the Wavelet to see if it might be an upgrade for the DEQX.
Simple; try all possible permutations.  Almost assured to achieve not only superior, but vastly superior sound. Read my review of Whisper DSW and of V Speaker systems at Dagogo.com for more input.

The gentleman inquiring about DEQX may also appreciate.
