I did the same experience with Lumin and SQ is good that I skip the D’s upgrade. No surprise for me. Few reactions around here because it’s a new paradigm and clearly D’s are very good solid amplifiers. Enjoy
Yes the Dave analog goes to 1000Pro analog, the idea was to get the full benefit of the Mscaler upscaling up to 768 which is not possible with the 1000Pro dac limited to 192 digital input.
I tried different combinations, Mscaler digital connection to 1000Pro direct do bring already an significant improvement, but putting the Dave DAC is a revelation.
I do not know how internally 1000Pro handle digital and analog signal input and to which extend the dac chip is involve with analog input.Would be interesting to find out.

Of course, if it sounds great, it sounds great. But if the DAVE/mScaler is already doing the DA conversion for you, you might get even better results with an amp that doesn't impose an other A-D-D-A conversion on things?
