Guidance on Incorporating Eleven Rack

[golsf]

I am looking for guidance and advice on how to best incorporate the Eleven Rack into my recording rig. I recently acquired the Eleven Rack to produce better recordings of guitar, particularly with high gain sounds that are difficult to capture in my home studio without annoying neighbors.

I currently have a Digi 003 which has been modded by Black Lion Audio to incorporate better A/D processors, midi clock, pre-amps, etc. I also have an Avalon 737 preamp.

With the setup described above, how would others recommend I incorporate the 11? Should I use the Avalon's line input into the Eleven, and then output via SPIDIF to the 003 to take advantage of the better mic-pre on the way in and the better A/D processors on the way into my PC? Any advantages to the True-Z feature on the 11's input? Is this lost when going in through a different pre-amp?

Thank you in advance
