Thanks, turnbowm.
Let me add to the complexity... if I’m using the network function to stream over airplay, Hegel is telling me that the analog in of the external DAC isn’t used.
I just bought a Bluesound Node 2i, that DAC is inferior to the H90 to my ears, but I’m thinking I can route the external DAC into the Bluesound through an optical connection and then back into the Hegel through coax. This Musical Fidelity MX-DAC has balanced and rca outs, coax and optical ins. Seems like the Bluesound and the external DAC need to talk to each other directly, not both separately connected to Hegel...I think...
