Better to buy a high end network player with a DAC?
A good network player does alot. And some really good players on the higher end include a dac. Seems to get a really good player, you need to have it come with a dac. And these dacs seem really amazing, but you lose independence that a separate dac allows.
Why do they force an internal dac on you, and is it all that bad? Advantages with an internal dac?
