Do I need a DAC?


Hello,

My setup is the following:

Airpot Express >> NAD C326BEE (amp) >> B&W DM685 (speakers).

My question is, if the sound quality would be significantly improved by adding a DAC to connect my Airport Express with my amplifier? I enjoy listening to music, but I am not obsessed by getting the most clean sound etc.

How is your opinion on this?

Thank you in advance!

You might want to download free softwares to improve the sound - asio4all, and foobar.

A good DAC will improve the sound, but if you are happy with the sound, I would just enjoy it.

Your rest of the system is good enough for it to show the improvement had from a good DAC though.

If you can comfortably afford it, I would go for it, if I were you.
