DAC question

the sound of a dac depends upon factors other than the dac chip. i suggest you set a budget, then listen to as many dacs within your price range, comparing each dac to the dac in your
arcam player

Thanks for all of your input which was helpful. Think I will sit tight for a while and enjoy my new system. Cheers

Seems you've put together a nice 1st system and I applaud your decision to wait a bit and enjoy. That being said, if you have any interest in computer audio a DAC will be in your future. The Bifrost, which has been well reviewed (I own one), is a terrific DAC in it's price range. Computer audio (DACs in particular) is advancing at a blistering pace thus bringing down the cost of some truly great technology previously unaffordable to many. It's a good time to be getting into audio. Cheers.

Arnie Krueger says NO.

I would keep your system the way it is and play with some tweeks first. Damping the units themselves and isolating the speakers and making sure they are level and are on spikes...things like this can make more of an improvment in sound then a new DAC.
