Well, I prefer not to comment about the DAC aspect, as I do not have the experience with home audio systems as some on these forum , but I can testify to the futureproof aspect of the design. The SB eliminates the need for a player. Spend the money on an external DAC of your liking and enjoy the music. . -- haunyack Transporter -> B&K Reference 200.2 -> Vandersteen 3A Signature.
