Yep, the very same observations are here: as soon DSP engine touches digital stream/file then sound immediately goes to toilet. The numerous, and in many case very complicated, DSP processings that take place inside our AD/DA processors I would conveniently leave un-mention as it would screw the elegant picture of my DSP’s hate… :-)

What however is interesting in all of it is that there is rule: analog can’t delay, digital can’t filter. If what Peter describes is correct in what the K-Sterio possessor does while it is working then it should activates some kind extraction and delaying of injected signal. Delaying is just a temporary storing in a local memory, something that has no impact to sound at all. Delaying is not a problem for digital. Sure, then injecting massaged signals from another channels they will be hugely  attenuate at digital domain – something that digital can’t do but still it will be at very low level and it might not be not bad.

Of cause they are all juts groundless speculations and should be interesting to learn about the transparency of this thing… (Look for "Reviewing preamps by imbeciles.” In the list of the related links). Also, it is interesting to learn what exactly from the K-Sterio processor is being licensed by Daniel Weiss…
