Thanks georgehifi,
in your response you talked about different Cary player, my player is 308, tube version. This has only coax and toslink digital out.
This 308 plays much better with external DAC so my thinking is why to keep old CD player (I can still get decent money for it when sold) when I can get better transport (newer technology) to use with my DAC.
So only question would be which transport would be able to sound better than old tube Cary? I might end up keeping Cary as transport and play with different DACs.
I do not care about hi-res, streamers or servers. Good old CDs are for me, and rips.
