But think how much more amazing the sound quality would be with a proper DAC ;)

As long as the source is vinyl ;)...and proper FLAC/ALAC files MM There is a tv - and there is a BV.
Well, well - if you please.
I wouldn't bother with 'ripping' vinyl.
WiMP/Tidal in FLAC (plus my own ripped CD's/plain CD's) are fine with me.
The source of vinyl's is mostly digital anyway.

I have my eye on a Dac that i will be purchasing soon but for now the Logitech bluetooth adapter paired with my phone does a very good job currently.
Before my loewe tv went back I had my beolab 14s connected to it so I'm very aware of how good the sound quality is especially when listening to PCM Dolby digital and dts encoded material.
Personally, I am more than happy with spotify in 320. But i am looking forward to using Tidal when it becomes avaliable.
Back to the subject, I connected a Fiio Kunlun E18 between my macbook and my BL4000.
The sound could not be compared. And this was just with a portable dac to be used with a cell-phone..
Dac is a must, atleast with macbooks.
Good ideas here for a newbie. What do you think about these two options?: a) One S8 set speakers connected through a DAC to the computer or b) one A9 speaker via airplay. I like deep bass sound and I guess the S8 would be a better option, even more, since you say that the DAC improves the sound a lot.
I would go for the S8. Then you can place the satellites further apart to get the stereo sound. You can also connect them to an airport express. The airport express has optical out, so you can put a sac between the airport and the S8.
...or a Playmaker.
