Please don't take this the wrong way, and I'm not trying to be snobby or
evasive, but I don't have any experience of low or middle end amplifiers
or receivers with built-in DAC's, so it is impossible for me to say. I'm
a little "out there" with my audiophool views and tastes, so I'm far
from the average person that such a device with on-board audio would
appeal to. I suspect that if you connected it up to a pair of computer
speakers, (that would typically be connected to a computer), it wouldn't
sound any better or worse than the usual motherboard included audio, but
as a standalone DAC, if the selling point was that it had one, you'd do
better with just about any USB DAC you could pick up on eBay for less
than £50.

Yes, so would I.
