Jazzdude - you should consider getting the jukebox transport modded. Most Sony players make excellent transports once modded.
Does good DAC improve sonics of low end transport
I'm embarrased to admit that I am unable to live without the features and convenience of my Sony ES 400 megachanger. I have a Jolida 202a tube amp with level I mods and an AMC tube-driven DAC9, Aura speakers and prolfex interconnects and Clearpath cables.
My real question is whether or not a good DAC will substantially improve the sonics of my crappy transport or will I always be compromising the sound no matter what I do because my front end is so inferior to the rest of my system. Is it worth upgrading other parts of my system with the transport, namely the Sony Changer, that I have now?
I would appreciate brutal honesty and please do not hold back on your opinions. Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
