No problems with using Kato Unitrack with DCC. There are a couple things to keep in mind, though. First, check the back of your turnouts. Some of them offer a "power routing" and "non-power routing" option. Change the screw positions (if necessary) to select "non-power routing" for use with DCC. This keeps power to both tracks that can be selected by the turnout. Also, if using "districts" or reversing loops, make sure to acquire and use insulated rail joiners between the sections. This is true for any track, not just Kato's. The only other concern that comes to mind is the track radius. With Kato, most of their designations are in metric, so they don't tell you the track radius in inches. 430mm radius is approximatly 17.5 inch radius, so this should help you figure out the radius you require. Approx. 25 mm per inch. Make sure your locomotive can run on the tight radius turns and you should be okay. Hope this helps you out.
