AJZepp,

Haven't heard the TADAC but judging on the components used from their web site they don't use the latest generation CS8416 chip but the CS8414 chip. Also, the DAC they use is an inexpensive Burr-Brown 1793 which specs less than your current DAC in your Denon. If you are really interested in an external DAC, you should try the Channel Islands ext. DAC which uses the CS8416 chip and the latest Burr-Brown 1794 DAC which equals or exceeds the 1792. I can tell you from experience the CIA ext. DAC will give your Denon extra detail with warmth. You may want to check out the modified Lite Audio DAC 60 from Pacific Valve and Electric Company. It sells for the same as the CIA.
