[QUOTE="Drifter, post: 1167724, member: 13448"] If I read your statement correctly, it looks like you are thus using the Shield for streaming as well as digital to analogue conversion? In order to do this, it would mean that you use RCA-outs from the Shield to RCA-ins on the Denon. Can you confirm this? If this is the case, a dedicated streamer should have a better on-board DAC than the Shield. If you use a digital out from the Shield to the Denon (HDMI, coax, USB etc) then the receiver is actually doing the processing. In that case changing to a dedicated streamer will have much less of an impact as you continue to the receiver's DAC to do the D to A conversion. [/QUOTE]
