does Topo to raster tool suit for the preparation of the hydrogically corrected DEM?

perhaps a better chance given the inputs one can specify to better qualify the landscape for which one is trying to do an interpolation for.  The help file topic, unfortunately, is not read by many since few questions on this site are directed towards the input parameters.  Do have a read.

As for what the help topic purports...I am sure it depends on how well the user understands the inputs and the limitations on the outputs based upon this.

From the help...  Topo to Raster...

        Interpolates a hydrologically correct raster surface from point, line, and polygon data.
