One thing to consider is that every ADC and D/A will introduce an every-so-slight delay. I’ve found that it was enough to be not workable when I tried to use my 3200s hooked up as follows:

Pioneer mixing deck -> analog SPDIF -> Meridian 218’s analog input -> SL inputs on the 3200s.

Perhaps with piano this doesn’t matter, but I have my Yamaha CP88 stage piano connected to active monitors from Boehringer. When I have some time later this week I’ll see if I can connect my Yamaha piano to the 3200s through the 218 and report back.
