While this sounds inefficient doing A2D, D2A, then A2D again, I also wonder how much of a loss there could be. I'm no sound engineer so I have no idea how well the Xilica and whatever the device that transform the last A2D work.
I am also curious how this setup works. In particular the conversion from ethernet to digital (optical?) prior to being fed into the Phantoms. Although I have seen the schematic, does anyone have some specifics?
