To my ear, the DAC in my Sunfire theatergrand II sounds so good that I would have a hard time finding a cdp with a better DAC. I owned this pre-pro for a couple of years before I found this out.

Why Would You...?
With a pre/pro like the Meridian 568, which is basically a digital processor, why would you buy a highly regarded DVD player like an Arcam FMJ27 which has quality DACs. You'd either by-pass the DACs via optical or digital coax or have the processor covert it back to the digital domain. Isn't a high quality transport more fitting? (BTW, I'm thinking outside of the Meridian product line.)
I remember reading somewhere that even if the Sony 9000ES weren't a very good DVD/CD player, its' use as a transport alone was worth the money.
Am I on the right path here?
