to be honest, i don't use the equalizer! 90% of my iTunes library ae lossless files. I use Audirvana for improve the sound quality (plays from the RAM instead of accessing the harddrive)

The DACMagic is connected to the Beolab5's - MacMini USB out -> DACMagic -> SPDIF to Beolab 5 (this is the digital route - the analogue one is described in my previous post)

For the digital route, the DACMagis acts ONLY as a Bridge. Digital IN (USB) to Digital out (SPDIF)

From differnt reviews, this is an alternative Bridge solution http://www.halidedesign.com/bridge/

OK, I see.

Here I think is where the Impact Twin is better, as it's not a bridge, but actually acts as the master clock, reducing jitter. The Mac Mini is supposedly not equipped with a good clock.

Why do you connect the beolab through spdif to the dacMagic. 

With this configuration you don't use the dad of de dacMagic Thats a same because this one is much better then the dad of the beolab 5

Are you sure of that?

It is not the way to do it. The bl5 converts the analog signal to digital. If they did not do that the dsp system cant work. So the best way to connect a pair of bl5 is digital directly.
