[QUOTE="jatho, post: 394665, member: 14640"] I've read up quite a bit on DAC's and to be honest I'm on the fence, there are many conflicting reports abouts DAC's. Using my setup as an example.... All CD's ripped and stored on my NAS in mp3 format (for the sake of this argument) the music is accessed via my media center which passes the audio onto the amp using the HDMI cable so basically HDD --> Network --> Media Centre --> HDMI --> Receiver --> Playback. Although it travels through what seems like a lot of devices the transport medium is very fast (slowest thing being the Ethernet Cable) so nothing would cause a bottleneck. So I'm assuming that the media is in digital format, is transported digitally and is being played back digitally is that correct? If that's so, why would I want a DAC or better still, what would it do differently to improve on the sound playback? [/QUOTE]
