misread your post. I don't think a dac is a bad idea. But If You already have a decent sound card, that e10 dac isn't going to be an improvement really

He doesnt have a sound card, just on board audio.

I say get a DAC even if you believe your stream is clean. I didn't believe my stream was full of noise until using my Modi.

So if this e10 comes in and I notice zero different in noise reduction, will it be because my DAC isn't good enough?

I agree with that.

I was skeptical of DACs a couple of years ago when I first got into audio, but I was pleasantly surprised by how my bifrost and odac improved sq.

ILikeLSUToo, do some A-B comparisons of your inboard audio vs the e10 with your q701 and let me know what your impressions are
