Hi
I had a couple of questions.
I have a Technics DVD-A 10 currently plugged in via 6-channel IN into an HK High Current Receiver of mine.
I am currently bidding on an outlaw 1050 as mentioned above. I wanted to know what people thought of the onboard DAC in the 1050. My current set up has 6-ch IN in PCM format (using the DVD-A player's DAC) I also have an external 24 bit Krell DAC which is for 2-channel which goes into my Creek 5350.
My question is what should give me better results...bitstream to use outlaw's DAC or PCM and use the Technics' DAC)
I hope my question doesn't loop too much

The DVD-A10 is a DVD Audio player, correct? In that case, you are much better off connecting the 6-channel analog outputs because that is the only way to get the "real" DVD-Audio output (if you use a digital connection on DVD-A, all you get is a DD 2.0 signal -- part of RIAA-imposed copy protection). If you are using the Technics for movie watching, I will say only that I have been very pleased with the DD and DTS decoders in the 1050.

Are you also using the Technics as a CD transport (digital output to the Krell DAC)? I would expect the Krell to do a better job with 2-channel D/A than the 1050. I prefer the 1050's DAC to the DAC in my old Harman Kardon CD player, but I find the DAC my my Yamaha CDC-775 to have a somewhat richer sound than the DAC in the 1050. I hope that helps some.

I don't really have anything else to compare to in my own experience, but I have been VERY pleased with my 1050's decoding capabilities.
