I am looking for a DAC to play my digital music files and to connect my HD DTH and Blu ray player. I know most AVRs have basic DAC, I am wondering is it worth investing $500 on a dedicated DAC when i can get a entry level AVR like Marantz 1403 / 1504.
DACs under consideration : NAD 1050, Cambridge Audio DacMagic +, Schiit Bifrost Uber, also eagerly awaiting Oppo's yet to be launched Headphone amp cum DAC.
Also is PS3 internal DAC a good one ? Can i route the DTH TV Audio from PS3 DAC ? If so how ? for music I can connect to the USB slot of PS3.... but not sure of the audio quality
Please advice
