Hi everyone, I'm interested in getting a DAC but was wondering if it would even make sense for the setup I have. So I inherited (in a good way) a sound setup consisting of a tube amp (http://tubedepot.com/diy-k-8ls.html) and some KEF speakers (http://www.audioreview.com/cat/speakers/floorstanding-speakers/kef/q15/prd_119869_1594crx.aspx)
I've had this setup for a while and was looking into purchasing a DAC to try to improve my setup but was wondering if it would make sense for me to buy one. Specifically, I was looking into the HRT Music Streamer II. Does a DAC provide as much benefit to passive/tube amplified speakers as it does to active speakers? I'm also open to other suggestions within that price range.
I'm listening exclusively to all my music off my laptop.
Thanks and any help/guidance is much appreciated!
