We have a winnah!!! DACs are not the issue. A DAC with a higher resolution will undoubtedly sound a million times better than a cheap DAC with sub-phone quality. That is what you've paid for, Tyler.
There
is error-correction. Any digital signal that is Tx'd and Rx'd has some level of error correction - I'm 99% sure. Do a search for the "OSI Model"... see what you pull.
A DVD player costs more than others based on features. What features would run a player into the $1000s... I have no idea.
DACs are found in the reciever. That is where loot can be lost.
Tyler, the equipment you're using is so good (or it must be) I've never heard of it. You have to admit - unless you blow a wad on speakers, it's no use to buy a $4000US unit. "You're only as strong as your weakest unit"... so to speak.
And, while Tyler's comments weren't purely "constructive", I don't think they deserved a lecture.
