[QUOTE="Tenflare, post: 818957, member: 20064"] DAC's have other effects other than converting zeroes and ones. I could go on for hours about the differences between the various chips (Sabre, AKM, Burr Brown) and configurations (Ladder, Multibit, Single Ended) that exist and what they do to music. That aside though, it is a good idea to get even a bargain bin external DAC. Internal DACs in general, just don't play nice with the internal circuitry of an open ended platform like the PC so you could get a marked improvement just buy getting something like a Fiio D3 (R450 off Amazon.com -- the same price as a new LP ;) ).
