Thanks for the reply, but you didn't directly answer my question. I understand what you are saying, but would the benefits be lost by going back to/thru the 1402?
My desire is to upgrade my setup by introducing a better master clock into the system. I read that this should give a better stereo image, possibly tighter bass and more open highs. If we presume this is true, will it be lost by not connecting the powered speakers to the DA directly and going back to the 1402 for monitoring?
There are some benefits for going back to the 1402. I am aware of these as my system is setup routing back to the 1402.
