hey guys, Tony, while we're at it, I've got a question about DI's and samplers

I'm using 3 different samplers (sp, s950, asr-10) and I'm about to cop a 2 channel ADDA converter and a 2channel preamp. Now my problem is that I'd like to be able to run my 3 samplers into the preamp at the same time, so I was thinking about pluging the samplers into my old tascam 688 (cassette multitrack with a cool mixer section), and then the 2outs from the tascam to the preamp. Now my question is, if I do that, where would I have to plug a DI ? can I do SAMPLERS ---> TASCAM --(stereo output)--> DI ------> stereo preamp, or do I have to get a DI for each sampler before sending it to the tascam ? OR maybe the tascam thing is just a bad idea and I should find something else ?
