Thanks Matt! You're a star!
Very confused about the mic stuff. Uli said the XTZ should work. But I'll go with the tried and tested. Cheaper too!
As for the DAC options, now that is very interesting.
As a single box solution, I think the E28 is hard to beat. But I suspect I would still prefer the sound of the Hugo for stereo listening.
I thought about switching the 2 DAC sources. But its a bit clunky. Even if using 2 separate DACs for multichannel audio is possible, it seems like a waste of the E28.
The Lynx looks like a good compromise. Although spec wise is a bit below the Exasound and Chord.
Given I only have 5 speakers, the Aurora 8 with USB interface should be sufficient.
Its just a question if the soundfield will integrate between different DACs.
Hmmmm
