I don't think I would gain anything over using an external DSP board (used as 'fancy' preamp).



That would imply that you already have the signal digitized. ...


Not necessarily. A DSP board can accept continuous audio, process it, and put continuous audio out. From the outside, it can behave like an all-analog filter (albeit with some unusual properties).

Sampling the signal more than once may not be a theoretically elegant solution, but providing a desired result with resources already on hand is elegance of a different sort.

I was interested in using the onboard DSP to manipulate the signal coming via one of the cards _analog_ inputs. I had gotten the, apparently mistaken impression,from http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/direct.php?language=en
that one could only pass digitized signals to the DSP.

Bevan was saying that the digital version of an analog channel input can also be passed to the DSP. That also makes other portions of the site I only skimmed make more sense. Part of the problem is that I've had no previous interests in the guts of sound cards.
