I want swear to it but I do not see why not for I put my MicroDAC before my NAD receiver. it's not like plugging headphones or passive speakers directly into the DAC. you are putting a line level signal output before the line level input of the amp that's built into the speakers.
before I got into these headphone amps I was originally looking at some Roland active monitors that had a built in DAC connected by fiber optic to the source. because I knew I wanted a DAC between my computer and output, it led me to be psyched about getting the MicroStack.
