Upgrade to Topping D90 DAC?

[Slawomir]

Hi,
I'm building my first hifi system, a very simple one. I just need a decent integrated amplifier and some bookshelf speakers. I use Google chromecast audio to stream Google Play Music. My Yamaha a-s701 amplifier has an internal DAC, but I'm wondering, whether the sound quality could be improved with an external DAC, something like Topping D90?
Thanks, Slawomir

Hello Slawomir
Welcome to the forum. Sorry you've had to wait a while for a reply.

The differences in sound between DACs is often barely noticeable.
Save your money, the DAC in your Yamaha is likely to be as good, if not better, than many external DACs.
