Fact is I want to use the digital front end of my Tranporter for switching between LMS and digital inputs. Shortly I owe an outstanding external DAC with limited inputs. My hope is to find a way to link LMS/digital inputs of the Transporter to one of the digital outputs. Did anyone find a way

DEQ is (relatively) good if using its digital I/O. Unless you don't care about final sound, do not use its DAC section. DEQ/Transporter will work together if you have some (small) peaks/energy you want to reduce... DEQ is not correcting phase or timing issues, it is merely EQ. Before going

I just ordered a DEQ2496 to use between my Touch (and my TV set), and my amp. Curious about input switching though. If it doesn't support it elegantly, I'll probably run Touch RCA - Preamp - DEQ2496 - Power amp. Which means two DA conversions and one AD conversion when using the Touch. Hm. I have

If you plan to use the NAD C390DD why do you need the loop ?the DEQ2496 does it not have digital in and out . Then , transporter -digital- DEQ -digital -NAD would be the obvius connection . can the DEC be input switch ? or you could place one there . (in this config a transporter may be overkill
