Oversampling DAC Vs. Non Oversampling?

What are the advantages/disadvantages of oversampling vs. non oversampling DACS? I have a Squeezebox 3 and I love it, but I want to buy a DAC and I am not sure which to buy. I listen to Internet radio on the Squeezebox most of the time, which is usually around 128 KBPS and sounds good. However, I want to use the DAC for two-channel home theatre as well, and I will route the DVD through the DAC via a digital cable to listen to music from time to time. What to do? Thanks!!

Thanks Muralman.... any advice on the AN Dacs is greatly appreciated. I wonder if you know if the other upgrades are worth it.

You are certainly welcome. You have a fun project ahead of you.

Those diodes, fast as they are, opened the highs fully. Since these are kits, their build depend on the skill factor of the builder. I sent it to my amp builder, and he cleaned things up, shortening wires, but did nothing else new but change out those four diodes.
