I have run this hot-rodded combo before and have always preferred the linestage option.
I do like the Z-Systems units for switching and the reclocker/upsampler portion,not to mention that you have a digital parametric to cure any ills.
For $700 its a no-brainer.
Generally speaking,I have found a loss in SQ and especially bass/midbass drive and top-end.
Another thing to consider is the linearity of the dac,when presented with lower level digital input (digital attenuation).
It will be interesting to see how this thread develops.
