Well if you allready have the 840 I don't see why you wouldn't take advantage of the DAC, it is better than your dtv box. You will find that it is more open detailed and has more depth and even more layering with an overall better tone top to bottom. However it will not be as good as cd's. I listen mostly to dtv xm and enjoy it with the 840 DAC
Cambridge 840C Upsample & Directv
Has anyone taken advantage of the 840C's toslink inputs to upsample a Directv XM /Sirius signal? While I enjoy a number of the XM / Sirius stations, the audio quality is lacking in depth due to a rather compressed signal. I thought I might try the upsampling feature on my Cambridge 840 to see if it helps.
