Jerry say's any upsampler into the MXL will degrade the sound since the dac upsamples automatically. I bought a DCS Purcell and sold it two months later because of this fact.

I also have the 24MXL (superb dac btw), and tried it with my SF D2D-1 (similar to the Big Ben interface). No measureable improvement, but then no real degradation either, so you could try it and see what happens. Please post on this forum if you DO try it, and let us know how it goes.

The soundstage seemed to open up with better microdynamics and better image specificy. It had a widening effect on the soundstage. I liked it.
