[QUOTE="Kshah, post: 993233, member: 13668"] I was wondering this exact same question? I had a Cambridge Audio 540A ISA & when played against the Integra AVR that I owned, the ISA seemed more "powerful" than the AVR. But the AVR was so much more convenient with the built in dac and ability to play flac from USB. The sound was very pleasant - to my ears at least. But with the modern AVR built for streaming and with high quality dacs, I wonder if its really worth the effort to buy s separate dac or streamer if the AVR can do it all? I note from reading online that the mid to higher end AVRs come equipped with decent dacs, either ess sabre or akm. Is the difference that vast? Sent from my SNE-LX2 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
