Hi there everyone, I'm in need of some advise before I purchase my items. Here's my question, I'm about to update my system with the marantz amplifier pm 7005 which is DAC COMPATABLE and the marantz na8005 music streamer that is DAC CAPABLE also, I've seen that marantz also sell a more powerful and adjustable amplifier 'pm 8005' which isn't DAC COMPATABLE, now my question is would it need to be DAC if my music streamer is already? At the end of the day I'd rather a more powerful amp that has pre amp ports than not. I'm just not sure if it needs to be DAC if my music streamer already is. i mainly play digital music..

Thank you very much for your help :)

Nah, as long as your streamer has a DAC that takes care of converting the digital binary ro analogue, so you dont need to DAC's. Think of it the same as a CD player that contains a DAC, you dont need a subsequent DAC on the amp! Bascially as long as you have a streamer the PM8005 is fine....also some cracking deals on that amp at the moment!
