Very good,That's what I did with the BCD-1(AES XLR going to the DAC) and the analog xlrs out to the 26 and analog XLRs out of BCD-1 to the 26.
Easy to turn the knob and compare.Seems for me, I like my BCD-1 going direct to the 26,sounds a little more right.
Can't remember how the coax was,obvious I don't miss it.
