Onkyo TX-DS575

So I just inherited one of these from my parents who were just going to leave it out on the street and hope someone picked it up. I was curious so I grabbed it before they could essentially throw it out. So what do I have here? I'm very VERY new to this stuff so I'm pretty much in the dark here. Is it worth hanging on to?

As long as it works, why not keep it? Unless of course you already have something better. Given that it's Onkyo, it should be pretty decent.

Yeah I figure I'm going to keep it around. I just ordered the HD650's so I want to see how the two mix. Forgive my ignorance but could I use this as a DAC? I did some research on it and am learning some but a lot is still foreign to me. I plan on picking up an Asgard and a separate DAC as I'm going to be running the HD650's out of my computer. If I could use this as either the amp or DAC, that would certainly save me some money.
