"They will not be satisfied for too long and then go for better DACs. I dont think true audiophiles can be satisfied with built in stuff."
Guess I must be a "true" audiophile since I wasn't happy with the touch internal DAC. On the other hand John Swenson says if you remove it's output coupling capacitors it sounds much better. So if I bought another one and did that and liked it, then what? Would I be an untrue audiophile? A tramp listener?
Speaking for myself, I just want good sound and haven't found many givens along the way. Even what constitutes good sound. Couple that with 'system synergy' and recommendations need to be taken with humongous grains of salt. One advantage, perhaps the main one of having a bunch of boxes in the signal chain is that it increases the opportunities to optimize the aspects that are especially important to a particular user, even if their actual nature is obscure. But then there are downsides too...
Fun stuff!
