What's Benefit of DAC ???
My main source is an Arcam CD93 player. Its built-in digital-to-analog converter upsamples Red Book CDs to 192-kHz, 24-bit audio.
So, what would the benefit of an external DAC be for that source? Thinking of boxes like the Benchmark DAC-1 or the PS Audio Digital Link III Audio DAC.
Since the Arcam's DAC already upsamples, tell me why I might want to spend $1K for such a device. What else would a DAC box do?
Dave, who would certainly consider an external DAC if real SQ improvement were likely
