I was looking to get the best out of what I have. I would probably have not gone the DAC route if I had a free hand to build a stereo only system. Ultimately I have one optical transport to do all disk spinning duties. My 3910's weakest aspect was its stereo performance when compared to the best I had heard and a DAC was the perfect answer. I am now happy with all aspects of my system, and while I don't rule out some 'changes' when me and the Mrs. buy our new house (she's promised me my own room!!!), I can live with it.
