This way you're starting with a high-level signal, converting down to a very low-level signal, and then back up to a hotter signal again. I've done it with my ProDI a few times, but I had to have my track fader way down (like -50 dB) to keep from overdriving the transformer. This isn't ideal because I'm not using all my bits, but I suppose you could put an analog control in the chain after the D/A.

Bottom line, it can be used, and isn't too bad, but ideally you want a ReAmp device that goes from line down to instrument level and has an adjustable output. That way you just keep the track fader at 0. I have the ProRMP, it works pretty well, but I've heard good things about the active reamp boxes.

I never knew that.

I guess I'd be best to reamp with Radial's X-Amp then. I should have realised, there would be no need for the X-Amp if the JDI done the job.
