Please excuse me if this is a silly question but I haven't a clue in regards to Dacs. How do the Dacs in the Denon 2900 player compare to any of the outboard dacs like the Benchmark Dac 1 thanks in advance.
I have been curious about this same subject and am currently shopping for a 2900 or 2910. Is one better than the other? If I use my CAL Alpha dac will it process the sacd and dvd signals as well?
I agree-cd sound leaves much to be desired-sacd-dvd-a, no problem--I sent my 2900 to Modwright--Dan Wright,had the truth-tube mod done----BIG-difference---highly recommended.
I tried a MF Tri-vista DAC with my 2900 and although it was an improvement, it didn't seem huge. I ended up with a MF A5 which is a tremendous performer and much better then the 2900/trivista. I have also listened to an Exemplar 2900 which is awesome.
In my experience with the 2900 as a transport using the MF Trivista. I found very little difference between the player audio output and the DAC audio out. It wasn't untill I went with a dedicated transport the Theta Digital Data Basic II that my digital front end came to life. A huge improvement over the 2900 as a transport.
