You would still be able to use the x10D in the same way and it would have a similar effect. You'll just need to do some listening and hear whether You like it in or out of the system
Musical Fidelity X-10D
At present I'm running a pair of Pioneer DV-727Fs into an SAE 2100L pre-amp via a Musical Fidelity X-10D. I'm considering the insertion of an MSB DAC III, with the upsampling upgrade, into the mix. Would I still benefit by keeping the X-10D, or will the DAC III make it redundant?
