What stereo amps have you heard in your listening room & with your current system to think that you are hearing your DAC at its best Cable ? I have no problem disagreeing BTW. I have played around with a few DACs and was quite surprised what my old transports sounded like into superior stereo amps as I have went on in this hobby, but if your placing a stereo based component into a system (DAC) I would always get the amp that will do it justice in their first.
