    DAC with new Rotel?

    Greetings,
    I am most likely going to replace my RSX1056 with one of the newer Rotels.

    Do I need to consider a external DAC?
    I am running airport express lossless files into my RSX1056 out to B&W CM2's and it sounds pretty darn good.
    But I have been reading about DAC and I wonder if it's worth the effort in my set-up.

    What's the quality of the internal dac in the Rotels?

      Rotel receivers usually have pretty good DACs in them. If you like the RSX1056, you will probably like the newer gear as well.

          The RSX-1560 units use 24/192 Burr Brown DACs

              Are the Burr-Browns confirmed for the 15 series?

                  mac guys (dac trouble)
                  by peterS
                  sent my brother my old headphone amp with a usb dac. He has a newer mac laptop and states there is no audio coming out. This amp uses the Ti PCM2706 so no drivers are needed...
                  Anything cute that the mac needs done to it so this can work?

                  The Calliope uses the DA25TX; we've used that in several designs. It's a real bargain in the performance/cost ratio; it's drawbacks are mainly the large size and flimsy front plate- I've actually dissembled these on occasion and epoxied two front plates together and re-assembled the tweeter with one...

                  Why Use a Better DAC?

                  An argument for why using an external audio converter IC over one integrated on an SoC can help ensure high-quality audio performance.
