Yes there is - some will not take some file types. You won't find many who will admit it but some gear does not work together well under some conditions and you in the worst case you can even get drop outs. Some DAC's have a reputation of being more robust than others. A good solid (robust) and reasonably priced product is the Benchmark line of DAC's.
Is there a compatibility issue with DAC's
I recently purchased a parasound C/DP 1000 player with digital outputs. I see that DAC's come in all sorts of bit rates. Will anyone work? I would imagine I want the highest bit rate and highest oversampling times, but I do not want to wind up with something that will not be compatable...
