I just got an email from Dangerous regarding the 2-bus headroom vs. the D-Box.

Here's what they had to say:

"The 2B has 1 dB more headroom due to it's power supply running at +/-18VDC where the LT and D-Box run at +/- 15 VDC, but the difference is academic. +28 dB or +27dB in the summing section still gives more headroom than you will ever need. A converter aligned to -18 dBFS has a max. output of +22 dB.

The summing section of D-Box is exactly half of a 2B LT- 8x2 instead of 16x2. Same components, layout, sound.
