[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 260478, member: 1447"] a DAC is a digital to analog convertor - so once it is converted to analog why would you want to transmit it to the next link in the chain via digital to be converted to analog once again so that it can go to the speakers? it will go from the source unit (in this instance a mede8er via optical or coax or HDMI and be converted from Digital to analog and from the DAC you will use either balanced outputs (if the DAC has them) or normal RCA interconnects to connect to your amplifier if you are sending the output to an amp that contains an onboard DAC for example an AV reciever then you dont need any other external DAC in the signal path because you will be converting from digital to analog then back to digital and than again to analog which then plays through the speakers [/QUOTE]
