I understand what you're saying Greg, and you are right, but in the end, regardless of what happens from point a to point b or how many stages of ad da there are, one must base this decisions on the end result, and if they sound almost the same, who cares if there are leprechauns inside manipulating the sound.
I have digidesign RM1s and I can tell you that the difference is almost negligible, may or may not be the case with the DSMs, I"ll know when I get them.
I just don't understand why they never offered some sort of "remote" for volume control when using the digital ins, that would have easily solved the problem, because regardles of crashes, if the volume is low when the pc goes haywire, it would remain low, but controlling it from within the pc, once it crashes the volume, like aof said, could be reset to 0 db, white noise blast and bye bye!
