Would a DAC make a PS3 sound Better?

So does anyone know or am i being more dull than normal... lol

jackandy, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will come in on this, but I've tried connecting the PS3 via a DAC to an audio amp and was disappointed.ÿ

Have you connected the PS3 to the optical in of your AV amp? That should make things better, but bear in mind A/V amps are poor with music.ÿ

jackandy:

Can anyone tell me if a DAC added to a PS3 would make it sound better?

Would the DAC added to a PS3 which is then added to a A/V amp make the music and/or games played sound better?

I connect my PS3 via optical cable to my DAC to play music DVDs/BluRays and it sounds really good.

However, with my DAC as the fulcrum for comparing music from three different sources, I would rank as follows:

1) Lossless files streamed from the Mac to DAC
2) CD playback via DAC
3) PS3 playing music DVD or DVD audio discs* via DAC

* I've only played the audio DVDs that have come with the last few Neil Young albums. Not quite sure what format the PS3 reads here.

Previously I would never really consider using my PS3 for any music playback but with the DAC into the equation it's very good. But not my primary source.

That's exactly what I found. But, since you're using an AV receiver, I'd use the DAC in that. Sound quality of AV receivers don't justify purchasing an external DAC

Hello and thank you all for the replies and I expect i will hold out until i get a new A/V amp this summer.
