...another thought...while starting to "play" with some of the Daisy-Chain possibilities, I realized that my interface (M-Audio Omni Studio) has 2 built-in pres (DMP-2) that are already in the chain...so what about "Brick into DMP-2" as a possibilty?...and what would be the difference of going into the "line" 1/4" input of the pre as opposed to the XLR input?...sorry if this is a sophmoric question, but my skills are more focused on the creative process than the hardware configurations...
The line input will have no gain, whereas the mic input could have minimum gain. It will also have lower input impedance, but that shouldn't matter much.
However, since the Brick's output noise will exceed the input noise of the line input or mic input, it's really no different. Skip the added stage and just do a digital gain change.
