[QUOTE="LAV, post: 69054, member: 1123"] DACs: The thing is, you'd have to test drive and listen. Different DACs should sound different, but it's a matter of personal preference. An external DAC might not necessarily sound better to you...and you have to weigh the cost vs. perceived improvement. ::) The other thing about that digital output is that you can feed an AVR directly, should you later wish to use the setup for movies. That Monster interlink is not ridiculously expensive. I have seen similar ones by Belkin, not sure of price though. Both options you have listed would be fine, as for discernible sound differences between the two, I'm sceptical. Go for the cheaper one. You could also consider asking one of the guys like Ian (JimGore) to make one up for you. [/QUOTE]
