Anyway to use the DAC in an integrated cd player with an outboard transport?

I know it's usually the other way around; many cd players have inputs to allow an outboard DAC to be used with the cd player's transport but I have a great player in the Raysonic 228 and the shop said the transport is fine but the cdp sometimes won't play a disc to the end so what to do?  Also had a Consonance Droplet 5.0 that I was very fond of and replaced the optics only to have it develop issues with skipping ahead (it would hang up if you skipped ahead a few tracks or more).   Anyone know a way to make this happen---using the DAC in the cdp?

chayro-----yeah, you're offering good advice and I appreciate it.  I've been kicking around the idea of picking up an Auralic Vega as I'm a detail junkie and never use preamps so....  still, the Raysonic is just lovely to listen to.  Oh well, thanks again to all who offered advice and their experience.

if the shop said the transport is fine, but it doesn't work properly, find another shop...

Only ji35 and I doubt the diagnosis.This is an easy thing to check. If your raysonic has digital input then connect it to an outboard transport of your choice. I will guess that it will play fine with the outboard transport. I really think you have to eliminate  the transport as the cause of your problem. Despite the opinion of the shop where you took the unit for repair.

I'm looking for a shop in Indy to check the player.  Last time, I took it to Deltronics in Chicago along with a Consonance Droplet 5.0.  They sorta fixed the Consonance but it never work 100% again so I sold it as-is.  I'm inquiring with Audio Solutions so we'll see.  It would be nice just have it running right again.  Thanks for the input everyone!
