Would a AIYIMA digital amp sound better with a pure digital path?

[Geezerman]

My understanding is something like a AIYIMA A07 TPA3255 Power Amplifier brings in a analog signal, converts it to a digital signal and amplifies it all the way to the speakers . Would it sound better if a digital signal was supplied so that it remains digital all the way/
Thanks

While the Aiyima A07 may do an internal analogue to digital conversion for noise filtering, from a classic sense it is analogue because there is no digital inputs.

The ideal signal path is doing your EQ in the digital domain, feeding the output to a DAC, and then onto an amplifier. In some cases, the DAC and amplifier may be the same device, an AV receiver for example.

If you are just starting out with your first system, I recommend using whatever DAC is built into your source device, and investing heavily into the speakers and room treatment.
