[QUOTE="jatho, post: 394688, member: 14640"] aaah, I didn't realise that it had to be converted to analog, makes sense Why does it have to be converted to analog, surely in this day and age they'd be able to produce an AV Receiver that can handle pure digital? just thinking aloud on this one.... So long story short is that the assumption is that the average AVR (which is what I'm using) has poor quality DAC's or DAC's that aren't as good as they could be? Problem is, my media source has no analog or RCA outputs (NAS has only Ethernet and USB) and media centre has only HDMI so not sure how I'd be able to get a DAC into the mix. Will a fairly decent DAC (I'm not talking about the $1000+ models) really make that much of a difference over the integrated DAC on an AVR and is the money well spent? [/QUOTE]
