Extra action:I think you are reading too much into this. I use EAC to rip CDs into WAV, import them into iTunes and convert them to 320 bps MP3 VBR for iPod upload. When I am lazy, I also play WAV directly from iTunes thought an external DAC. I li...

AC 3 hook up to DvD Analogue PCM or Bitstream
It does not have a DAC in the general sense. It has a DAC and a AC3 decoder for converting AC3 signal into 5.1 analog signal. My guess is the DAC might be embedded inside the AC3 decoder and not be a general DAC for PCM. Besides AC3, Your Yamaha o...

DAC that beat Mark levinson 360s ??
Agree with Bigkidz on upsampling.BTW, ML360s doesn't do upsampling either although it can decode HDCD and 24/96 data streams. If you really want to upsample redbook you will need to add an upsampler in front.
