Bob, You mentioned this before

You can however route un-truncated 24 bit signals or dither down to 16 bits via this MY8-AT
Should I be doing this?

As for your latest comments, I'm pretty much sold.
I'm thinking this setup:

PC>RME 9636>01v via SPDIF IN
Mac Book>Fireface>01v via Lightpipe IN
Then
01v SPDIF OUT>Benchmark DAC-1>Monitors (Or should I still be using an attenuator here?)

Is there a cheaper DAC that you would recommend? I've read the reviews and it seems like below the DAC-1 and DA10 it's a steep drop in quality.
I know that you get what you pay for, but I thought I'd ask.
