Best way to stream FLAC files.

Do I still need a DAC to stream FLAC files? Can I use a computer and program like VOX instead?

If it has analog outputs and plays digital media, it has a dac. The question is whether you need a stand alone dac. I'd say probably. Even something inexpensive like Audioquest Dragonfly will be a big improvement over what's inside your pc.

Plug and play, streaming radio, playing itunes, etc Wow for around $100 it sounds great, not the latest or most fancy but it sounds pretty good. Waiting to see what my next upgrade is.
