Outboard Dac's...Do they make a big difference?

Just busting ya man. I'll bet those VAs sound pretty decent as is

Hi All,
Thanks for your responses they were VERY helpful! I bought the PS audio Dac 3 and can't believe the difference! Immediately the music popped out of my Maggie MG 12's like never before! For even greater resolution, I put on the 196 setting and it's a whole other level in performance. The MVP 831 is good in stock form, however the PS is a MAJOR improvement in imaging and punch/life. Thanks again for your helpful convincing to give a DAC a try. I am using the Cardas digital cable on it. (Model around $109....can't remember the name of it.)

Trumpetbri, thanks for the follow up post. So often, people ask for help and then don't tell us what they did.

BTW, are you a trumpeter? Given your handle, I thought that you might be. I sponsor the Rocky Mountain Trumpet Fest and play with several regional orchestras and bands around Denver.

I suspected as much. Yes, I love the VAs and plan to stay within that family when I "move up."

Hi Dave,
Yes I am a trumpet player. (Part time) I'm on you tube under Brian Nadeau if you want to check it out. Just a weekend hacker mostly. Haven't been full time for 30 years, but still love to play. Thanks for asking, and for your support. All my best...Brian.
