You don't need both, the 1007 is a dual mode decoder takes the place of the stock decoder, when operating on a DCC layout it functions as a regular sound and motor decoder,  speed/direction/sounds/ lightsall  controlled by functions on DCC throttle.
On DC power, speed/ direction controlled by powerpack, and the remote operates the sounds only.

I think you misunderstand, I WANT both the ability for DCC or DC operations both with easily controllable sound. I don't want to replace the stock DCC decoder, I'm trying to find a way to get the sound decoder to work with it. I'm curious if anyone has ever heard of something along the lines of a splitter to plug in both decoders. Search can't find any such beast with the terms I'm using but I'm hoping someone may know of a solution that would work the same.

I have a N&W J with DCC Onboard. While I currently am not using the DCC function, my club is currently transitioning to making DCC available on it's lines for some members while retaining DC for the older locos for others and I need an engine/decoder for both.

I'd like to add an MRC 1007 DC sound decoder that plugs into an 8 pin DCC socket. This decoder comes with it's own transmitter for activating sound effects instead of relying on DCC controls. I want to know if it's possible to piggyback both decoders or if I am forced to choose between one or the other?
