Squeezebox Duet DAC vs Rotel

I'm putting together a budget audio/home theater system where I have a Rotel RSX-1065 AV Receiver at the core. I'm also picking up a new Squeezebox Duet. My question: Should I use the Squeezebox internal DACs with RCA outs or should I use the Squeezebox coaxial digital out and use the Rotel's internal DACs?

Thanks

The Squeezebox is fantastic to get audio files from your PC to your home-stereo and very convenient, and I agree with Dmityrdr - not audiophile stuff, perhaps that the Squeezebox Transporter is better

Yes, the Squeezebox is a decent transport but a poor DAC.

So did anyone try both the Dacmagic and Benchmark DAC1, what are the major audible differences?
