The receiver does have digital inputs, but this is besides the point. The receivers inputs will be nowhere near the quality of a dedicated dac. I will also be using a completely different integrated amp (or dedicated source components) with in the year.

I'm looking for a dac for my HiFi system for 2 channel audio. I would like a minimum of a 24bit/96khz capability, but would prefer 24/192. My budget is $1000, because I want to buy something that will last me a long time (I don't like buying a product that I will feel like upgrading in a couple...

Going from the computer to the HiFi, all I care about is 2 channel audio as the computer is just a music server. I might add in a sub if I feel I'm lacking bass.

My current AV Reciever has all of those inputs

I'm wondering what the best bang for the buck way to connect my computer to my Hi-Fi system.   Options to explore: USB-DAC High End PCI-E audiocard Studio audio interface Optical into external DAC Looking to spend up to $600 for this.   My Hi-Fi system consists: Wharfedale...

I am not looking for something for headphones, my reasoning for coming to this website is its the only quality audio forum i have come across where people actually know what they are talking about.

My parents HT reciever and sub had a power supply failure, so I am giving them mine, allowing me to buy a new reciever. Currently i am using a Pioneer VSX-820 and a Polk PSW10 This reciever will be used with polk audio Monitor (TSi) speakers ( 2x monitor40's, 2x monitor 30's, 1x monitor CS2)...

The system I currently have works great for movies and the like, but now I want towable a great sound system for music. I don't mind buying a different set of speakers for this, or a different amp etc, I want something that can grow with me as my budget allows. 

I am looking to upgrade my HIFI system in which ever way would give me the biggest audio improvements. My goal is to have a very clean quality system for music playback but i don't know what is the bottleneck of the system. I know that for music the rear and center speakers wont be used.  ...

My first thought was no it can't, once its lost there is no way to make it get even close to its potential but then I watched a PeachTree audio review on the MusicBox and they claimed that it was designed to make up for some of the compression. I ask because I have tons of music and a pretty...

i just ordered a set of polk monitor series speakers for my college room. I purchased the Monitor 40's for the front, monitor 30's for the rear, CS2 for the center and a psw10 sub (all due to a huge sale that newegg had). I also am purchasing either a vizio 37" 1080p lcd tv or an LG 42" 1080p...
