Hi Fiona,

Thanks for joining us. The BP-80 and TP-80 pads in the expansion set 
will integrate with the DTXpress without any trouble. I'm not sure 
how the little rack that comes with them will finally come to roost 
in your configuration, but it's not an insurmountable problem in any 
case.  Am I to understand that you are getting a second module as 
well, presumably the DTX v2.0? If so, you should get an inexpensive 
mixer to accept the outputs of each module and then run leads from 
the mixer to your monitor. How did you come across the DMS amp 
system, which doesn't seem to be available in the US? I didn't notice 
whether you're from Europe. If you narrow down the questions further, 
we can get into more detail.
