[Sound N00b]

Do I get more bang for my buck by buying an amp dac combo instead. For example instead of getting a $100 amp and a $100 dac would I get better sound quality by spending $200 on a combo (for example an audioengine d1). Also if you do get more bang for your buck combo recommendations under $250 are appreciated. They do not need to be portable.

More bang for the buck? Absolutely!

Are there compromises made in performance by combining the units into one case? Absolutely!
