ideally, you wouldnt want any intermediate in DAC world. each time the signal is passed through another device, expect some degradation. of course, it doesnt matter much to normal/casual end users.

Thanks firstly u have to download the demo on psn store, activating the download on the ps3 xmb. you have to set up PS3 proxy server gui on PC. Plz read on frontpage of FAQ, Its under PSN Q) The PSN d/load speed is very slow. How to install demos/game patches using PC aka proxy method?
