Seldon has an EAD Signature as his prepro...IMO a better dac than a stock sony or classe cdp or bel canto dac1. And I don't think the prepro (the newer EAD models do) has analog bypass to hook up a cd player and dac.
Get a nice transport with ST-Optical or AES/EBU digital outputs (I believe the EAD has both digital inputs).
