Yes, cannot bypass the Sony DAC. Is that a bad thing?

Majordomo is correct, you really have to use the onboard DAC on the Sony. However, is that bad? I have the Sony TAE 9000 ES, and I feel it sounds fabulous in stereo. However I have not compared it to Denon or other "super high end" pre amps in my set up. Too bad you cannot compare the sound of the Sony TAe 9000 with its DAC, and compare it with your current set up plus the high end DAC you alreaedy have.
The surround functions of the Sony are excellent. At $1250, it may be worth taking a chance, you could easily resell it if you are not satisfied.
