Hi All,
This is my first post!
I have been following the DirectStream topics and reading with great interest all the information and comments shared!
What a great bunch of people!
I don’t even have a DirectStream DAC, not yet anyway, this could change soon 
My current DAC has analog inputs so I can use it as part of my multichannel system easily.
Any suggestions as to how I can use DirectStream for the same purpose without a preamp?
Many thanks and happy listening!
