My experience has been that the DAC and the amp are about equal as far as coloring the sound goes. I've recently compared the HRT Streamer II, the Bifrost, the M-Audio Matrix USB DAC, and the ALO Pan Am DAC with my somewhat vintage CIAudio VDA-1 DAC, all pumped through my Asgard. They ALL have their own unique sound signature. None of them, BTW, sounded as good as the VDA-1.
