    DAC better in 1040 or 1056 or neither?

    I'm somewhat new so please bear with. I've been reading about DACs and the concept of separates, but would like to know a few things about my setup.

    rdv-1040
    rsx-1056
    velodyne spl-1200
    b&w cm2s bookshelf

    I currently have the 1040 outputting digital to my 1056, but think that I should use the DAC on my 1040 instead. I haven't been able to find the DAC specs on either device and would like to know which is truly better. I also want to make sure that my sub is being optimized in either DAC scenario. Since I don't have a center or floorstands, I don't really have a great surround sound setup, but do have room to grow. Since the cm2s are small, I have my lows redirected to my sub. Any DAC info for my setup would be great!

      DAC differences are subtle, esp when you are comparing less than state of the art gear. it does not matter what anyone else thinks which is better, what do you think? Its easy enough to try each at matched volume levels and decide for yourself.

              Used CM2s or new CM1s?

              Hello all,

              First post here; hopefully not my last. I currently own a bunch of old, mass market electronics and I'm looking to upgrade to something better. Basic plan of action:

              Step 1: Get the Rotel 1550 Surround Receiver. I can hook this up to some older style Polk...

              Hiyas everyone.

              I found this place about a month ago but I've just been lurking. Finally decided to unmask myself and ask a few questions.. hopefully not too stupid I'll get laughed at.

              I recently purchased a RDV-1040 DVD player to go along with my new TV, a Toshiba 34HFX84...

              Rotel RSX-1056 DAC
              by fordster
              Hi folks, this is my first post on this forum. Just a quick question on how good the DACs are on a Rotel RSX-1056. Could they be used instead of the DAC on a DVD or CD player. The reason I ask is that I don't haev room for an AV and HiFi set up in the same room but music quality is important to me....

              Rotel's "DAC"'s
              by kmckenn
              I presently own a RSX-1056, which has recently seen an upgrade (SIGNIFICANT UPGRADE) in what has been being sent to it in regards as a digital source for 2CH CD listening, a Rega Apollo. The change in music, using the Rega as a digital source to the 1056 defies my comprehension of what I thought a "Hi-Fi"...

              Which DAC is "best"?
              by Tom Caines
              I will receive a new-to-me Rotel RSX-1056 today and was wondering, does the 1056 have a better DAC than my LG DVB418 DVD player?

              I do movies 80% / music 20%. Is one of these DAC's better for movies and the other better for music? Although music is 20%, I do want to have a quality music...
