Clearly there is a lot of discussion about this on the webbernets.
I currently run a USB keyboard into a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 audio interface with Dynamic Range (Line Outputs) 108 dB (A-Weighted). Those outputs are fed into the AB168 dSnake, and then the QU-32 does the heavy lifting.
My contention is this. As long as the 48V is disabled on the board, I’m not at risk of damaging the outputs on my audio interface. Is this a true statement?
Also, there seems to be no reason to run a DI box between the audio interface and the dSnake.
Opinions?
Thanks!
