Sure, your answer for everything is to spend more money...

But you are ultimately right - so I figure I can do one of two things, since I do need a monitor controller as well -

Get the SPL 2381 (used $500-600) and either a DAC1 or DA10 (used $700 or so)
Or a dangerous D box new for $1400.

I've heard is that the SPL has QC issues, and I really don't want that. It does have all the features I need and since I'm ITB it would work perfectly.

The Dbox has a good D/A (comparable to the aforementioned converters as I've heard) and I could get into summing, although I wonder if only eight channels of summing would warrant enough improvement.

So what the hell do I do?
