Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

REFLECT!
My only disappointment with the 30th Anniversary bash was that bbigwyres wasn't there. didn't reveal himself there.

...No separate DAC is either necessary or helpful. I certainly agree a seperate DAC isn't necessary. Helpful? That's in the ears of the listener isn't it? It seems helpful in my system.

External DAC's are very useful in setups that aren't receiver-based. My computer goes straight to my DAC...and boy...I can tell a massive difference between my receiver DAC and my Lite-AH DAC. I can really only tell the difference on headphones, and that's what it used for :-)
In most cases, I'd say you're wasting your money on an external DAC unless you have some outlandish amp setup, and don't want to use a high end surround receiver.

Additionally, if you think a high quality DAC makes a difference, don't pay for upgrades in your source component, and then have to run analog cables. Get a receiver with specs you want, and make digital connections to it, so all sources benefit.

The only digital link in my system is from my Roku Soundbridge to my Meitner D/A. Well, I guess you should count the WiFi link from my music server to the Roku as digital too.
