My reason is to be able to use 5disc transports and have decent sound. I have a pile of fives, and use them a lot. I have actually worn out 3 different changers after tens of thousands of hours each..
Anyway, DACs are fun. the combination of connections cables and stuff provide endless opportunities to "fool around" which is a part of this hobby.
(Some prefer the minimalist system: a source, a pre,and amp, speakers, keeping it as small and as high quality as possible). I am of the 'more is better' camp. I have many of each type of component and play around with them endlessly.
