I'm having pch 410 ince last year. Since i had hooked it to my 2 chanel setup, i got amaizing results of its analogue connectors. The said audiophile grade ess sabre DAC chip gives you stunning results provided you hook it up in good amp. In my case I've hooked it to a dnm pre and Marantz poweramp. The sound signature is noticeably better than other media players. (I had tried many ...like ASUS o play, wdtv live hub etc. ) i was going to buy new speakers to upgrade for betterment, but after pch 410 I've got much better results and happy with my Jamo studio series floor stands s606 which gives me good and satisfying results in my av setup. I never thought they will ever perform in 2Chanel stereo setup. This all due to PCH 410 and its built in audiophile grade ess sabre dac chip.
Here I want to ask the forum experts that anyone who is using pch410, pls let know whether a separate (Dedicated) DAC in the setup would add to the sound signatue? Perticularly in 2 chanel setup for digital audio files like FLAC, wav etc.
Experts comments and tips would help and guide us.....
Thanks.
