Schiit Byfrost Multibit dac with cd transport

I am using the Schiit Bifrost Multibit DAC, but not with a transport, but for converting streaming USB music. For this configuration, I can say it really sounds 'cleaner' than my Rega Apollo or McCormack CD transport. I haven't gotten time to connect them to the Schiit, but if Georgelofi, says it wouldn't make a difference, then I would leave it at that.

Thanks for all your responses. I'm going to look at some used cd players in the $800.00 to $1500.00 price range. Cambridge 851c has great reviews. Is there  any other players that you guys can recommend.

 

I use a bifrost almost every day.  It never fails me.  Getting one with USB built in will make it much more flexible if you want to stream in the future.  As you go up through the Schiit line-up you can easily notice sonic improvements which match your budget.
Another huge advantage of using an external DAC is that you can just upgrade that portion of your system.

I think you may be able to buy a new 851C for $1500. The internal DAC is accessible externally for streaming purposes.
