Can I use a streamer with an internal dac when I have an integrated with an internal one?

I have a Parasound Hint 6 Integrated and am looking for a streamer. The Parasound has a reference internal dac, however most streamers I see have a dac in them as well. Is it possible to bypass the dac in the Parasound. I am currently looking at the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge Streamer. Any thoughts would be extremely helpful!

If you want to use the DAC in the streamer, you plug the analog output of the streamer into an analog input of the HINT.
If you want to use the DAC in the HINT, you plug the digital output (if there is one) of the streamer into a digital input of the HINT.

If it's not too cheap for you, the Bluesound Node 2i gets good reviews. Might be worth a try, especially if it can be had on approval.
