[QUOTE="ejschultz, post: 6272795, member: 603800"] The 24 bit DAC is a digital to analog converter. It will decode the digital information on CDs to analog sound. Most CD players use a regulated 1 bit DAC, like the 9835. This usually works fine, but the 24 bit does have more steps for decoding. This generally leads to better, more full, more lifelike sound. If you were happy with the CD sound the 9835 gave, the 24 bit processor may not me a necessary feature for you. If you're going to be playing mostly compressed music, you definitely won't need it. I do notice a difference in sound with my 800PRS over my 9855. This could be partly due to other features as well as the 24 bit DAC. All I really know is that it's clearer and much more life like with my 800PRS. I could probably explain the difference between a regulated 1 bit DAC and a 24 bit DAC better if I could draw some things out for you, but obviously it's a little hard, especially since I'm using my iPod.
