Will I improve HT audio with an external DAC?

Any significant benefits to buying a dac for my Panasonic DMP-BDT 210 blu ray player? I have a Creek Destiny amp and no plans to go multichannel yet. I was looking at the m1 with the idea of connecting my laptop too.

What Pre do you have the Creek Destiny amp connected to? If you are not interested in multichannel then do you even have "HT" now?

If you are doing a lot of music cds, then yes, absolutely. Erikt, the Creek Destiny is an integrated amp, so a preamp is irrelevant.
