I suggest that you continue with what you have. The Integra probably does a decent job at conversion, and by keeping it there, you can take advantage of any bass management, tone controls, and room correction that the Integra offers. Plus, you've said in the past that you buy all your music from iTunes, and a better DAC isn't going to help much when your source is compressed audio files.

After doing a bit of surfing the net and reading forums. My best bet it to stay with what i have. I'm not complaining with the SQ i have but was just wondering. I am 23 and very new to a lot of things. Like i have never owned a vinyl or a tube amp. I have never had a true 2 channel but would like to have one in the future.

I enjoy my time in the lounge Some much good info, great opinions and the sense of humor from some members it wonderful

You are always learning something new if you like it or not

Humans can only hear analog sounds, and speakers can only make analog sounds.

Now as to your question "isn't digital better" I say no, not in all cases

See...this is why 8-track still rules ... Digital is for the birds....


;D

And the reason why I like an NOS DAC. I prefer the more laid back sound of an NOS DAC and a tube amp.
A squeezebox paired with a good NOS DAC is a very nice combo
