Triple-convertion (from digital to analog and then analog to digital and then again digital to analog) is not good for SQ.
I really don't know , but I see your point.
Akurate has very good DAC , it's functions as AIR but doing segnifictly better job, it has volume control. So I assume I can start looking for replacement ?
