Let my sound card do the D/A conversion or my Receiver?

Running analog into many modern receivers is just going to have it converted back into digital for onboard processing, and then finally back to analog again using the receiver's DAC. In that case, there will be no escaping the receiver's DAC and the only decision you really have is if you want the audio to go through a single Digital to analog conversion, or 3 conversions (D to A, A to D, D to A).

Thanks I think I'm going to try both in this case.
 
I have a very basic Sony CD Player on order, 
along with the Asus Exodus ST.
 
Once they arrive I will be comparing both in terms of sound quality and update this thread.
