Before getting into which DAC is better, the thing to find out is whether your receiver is putting all of its signals through a digital path internally (a quick googling didn't tell me specifically about your model, but there's much mention of ADCs so I suspect so). If that's the case, you're better off using a digital connection into the receiver to eliminate a D->A at the source and another A-D into the receiver. By the way, the A->D->A conversion that is common in modern receivers is not inherently a bad thing. For something with a lot of channels in/out, it's probably cleaner to get it straight into zeroes and ones rather than switching the analog signals and passing them all around inside the box from one PCB to another. I'm sure on some forum there's a lengthy and well-informed debate that could be cited here... -- seanadams _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
