I'm pretty much sold on the d-box, though, i am going to work out all bugs and hook up diagrams before i actually purchase this unit.

The big issue i'm having is how to have a separate headphone mix for the musicians with this unit. right now i've got a separate send from my 896HD into my Mackie bigknob's "headphone in" and then out of the bigknob into my headphone amp. which allows me to use the talkback mic on the bigknob with the cue mix from my interface, though on the d-box, it appears that i'll have to use the mix from the input on the d-box as the mix to send to headphone amp.

thanks
