With cd players you can change the sound by changing cdp. With harddrive setup, how do you? That is one problem I found. I have never changed DAC but I am not sure it will make a big difference? Mine sounded kind of like it came from a computer. (b.c. dac2)
The DAC should make a noticeable difference similar to changing phono carts as noted or even simialr to changing players with built in dacs.. If not, then the system may just not be very resolving or revealing to start.
A network player like Squeezebox Touch connected via wireless G performs extremely well in all regards and helps effectively isolate your system from the music server host computer and associated noise issues. A very cost effective and simple solution.
