why use a dac?

For fun,varity,and to feed my obsessive/compulsive sickness to buy and evaluate audio equipment!

I am probably similar to Elizabeth in my approach to this hobby.I have fun "playing" with different stuff.I also hoarde 5 disc changers(as the transports and drive mechanisms do eventually fail).

I(and probably Elizabeth as well)am also constantly searching for sonic nirvana.Some highly rated DACS are too tempting and affordable(especially at used prices)to pass up.Their flexibility allows you to add one to a Sony 5 disc SACD changer,or a universal DVD player and still have outstanding Red Book CD performance in the system!
