You will need this cable regardless of which solution you choose.
I have DSP and my present hookup is Sir-Alp 1 connected with an AI-net cable to the Intravee II, which has a single ibus cable from it into the radio module in the trunk (same place you plug in the changer). I have no other cables connected and certainly none going to the front of the car-everything is in the trunk. This must be digital because the radio communicates with the Intravee II and satellite station info is displayed on my nav. This is also the reason it sounds good-no analog in the middle.
