I believe that Amir has stated that DACs are not all that important in the audio chain, yet there are dozens of reviews and countless pages written on their merits and weaknesses. Why would that be if all you need is a basic quality DAC in your system? I was going to add an AHB2 to my surround system for the mains, and the Benchmark advisor encourage me to put a high quality DAC, like their Benchmark, between my Anthem AVM 60 and the AHB2 to ensure the best results. And that would have required a new streaming source, blah blah.
So I'm confused by the relative importance of this component, I have come to believe that it is the speakers and the room that are responsible for most of the sound, requiring only basic but quality electronics to sound their best.
