Separate DAC is one practical way to tweak the sound if needed or desired. ITs that simple. If built in DAC already in use sounds good enough, then no need.
Why a separate DAC?
Hey folks,
I recently finished upgrading all of my equipment. I settled on an Arcam AVR (which is amazing), and KEF R-series speakers for my front mains. I've been debating if I should get a separate DAC, but based on what I've read, my AVR already has a DAC in it. Is there any point in getting a separate one to handle processing the signal, is the benefit incremental, or is there a potential to unlock even better sound?
