Why buy a DAC when you have a high end pre/pro?

I am reading all this stuff about buying high-end DACs to bridge the gap from PC to system. Why aren't more of you running a signal adapter from the PC to your Pre/Pro or Receiver? Many Pre/Pros and Receivers have excellent DACs. We spend big bucks on these pre/pros and then ignore the DAC capabilities. Your thoughts?

More of the audiophile things. Sweeter midrange, depth, imaging, less congestion and so on. As always these sonic features may not be worth the price and hassle but only you know whether it's worth it to you or not.

I found that a $200 Cal labs tube DAC did all these things and worth it to me.
