    Where is the DAC in this setup?

    When I play iTunes music from my iMac via my AppleTV2 through my Beovision 10, I assume the digital/analogue conversion is performed by the BV10. 

    My other setup is iMac -> Apple Express -> Beosound 2. Here I understand that the D/A conversion is done in the AE. 

    1. Am I correct in my first assumption above?
    2. Is it fair to assume that the DAC in BV10 is superior to the AE DAC?
    3. Anyone have details on what DAC technology BV10 is using?

    Hi,

    1-the DAC conversion will be done in BV10 as long as you have a digital connection between both products (HDMI or coaxial)

    2-the Airport Express is known to have a cheap DAC, and many people here use another DAC after the AE to improve sound performance

    3-older Avants & BV3 used Analog Devices DACs, but I don't know about the newer BeoVisions.

    Dac in AE is awful, try and avoid it by all means.

     

    Does the beosound 2 have digital in?

     

    Edit you mean Beocenter 2, right?
