You'd be improved off receiving a $300 receiver than an individual DAC plus amplifier, I would believe. You can obtain a Denon AVR1507 on behalf of $280. I distrust a standalone DAC that costs nearly $200 will be noticeably well again than the DAC within the Denon. In addition, you find a first-class 75watt/channel amplifier along with a DD/DTS decoder within it, and tons of additional tidy features that you'd by no means obtain inside a DAC.
