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?

If you music is only important enough to listen to it through an AVR, then you don't need a better DAC.

I also contend that you don't need a better DAC for movies either.

So it seems as though you are set.
