My problem is, my current setup is that my AKSA GK-2 hybrid preamp has 2 outputs:
#1 comes out after the main ss part of the preamp.
#2 comes out after the unity-gain tube buffer which follows the ss part.

The difference is:
* the tube output has some 'tube magic' - so ideal for mids and highs.
* but the tube softens bass transients, slightly - so bass drivers are better fed from the ss stage.

So I use output #1 (currently) to feed my bass drivers - and when I include subs, these will also be fed by output #1.

Output #2 feeds the mids & tweeters.

My reading of the HDP-4 specs suggested it can't cope with this scenario.

So, you suggested a good quality multichannel DAC like the exaSound e28. Can this be used as a substitute for the output DACs on the miniDSP? (It has 8 channels, so is exactly what I need ... if it is better than the intrinsic miniDSP DACs.)

Regards,

Andy
