Outboard Dac's...Do they make a big difference?

Hi All,
Thanks for your responses they were VERY helpful! I bought the PS audio Dac 3 and can't believe the difference! Immediately the music popped out of my Maggie MG 12's like never before! For even greater resolution, I put on the 196 setting and it's a whole other level in performance. The MVP 831 is good in stock form, however the PS is a MAJOR improvement in imaging and punch/life. Thanks again for your helpful convincing to give a DAC a try. I am using the Cardas digital cable on it. (Model around $109....can't remember the name of it.)

Hi Dave,
Yes I am a trumpet player. (Part time) I'm on you tube under Brian Nadeau if you want to check it out. Just a weekend hacker mostly. Haven't been full time for 30 years, but still love to play. Thanks for asking, and for your support. All my best...Brian.

Cool Dave! Thanks for your support Man, and Mine right back at ya Fellow player and audiophile!! Be well and Happy playing/listening! -Bri.
