I purchased the best sounding player I could bring home and try regardless of price, but the sound was far more enchanting with a quality DAC. Liz also has a good point, I also plug my I-Mac and video gear including Blue-Ray into the DAC.

I've A/Bd it with the iTunes lossless signal sent to my Squeezebox Touch and on to the DAC and it sounds identical using similar AQ coax cables (VDM5, VDM3). It's also nice to know there are inexpensive things you'll feel less guilty about improving along the way.
