I use the P5 DAC only for optical FROM the small dish receiver. That is a 32khz feed.
The DAC section of the P5 is good, but no world beater. I think it is 'bested' by my CA DACMagic+. I couldn't say by 'how much'. However, the DM+ has output filter choices which I'll let you look up. All more critical sound goes thru the external DAC. Like from CD or BR Audio.
The P5's DAC is better than a throw away added feature but not as good as a stand alone at a price point rivaling that of the preamp itself.
The stereophile test and people are much more critical than I. My big dislike of the preamp? All those clicking relays!
Too much is never enough
