Hard Drive based system

I've read all of the threads I could find on a "server" type system. I plan on running a hard drive, to a Waveterminal, to a DAC. My question is, can a system like this sound as good, or better than, my cd player? Is it all up to the DAC?

I currently have a Marantz 8260 CD/SACD player.

Surely you can't wait to hear it but the burning-in is for real. So wait one hundred hours anyway :)

Please post your impression after 300 hours. I can't wait.

Ecruz,

Email me if you like to chat in more detail about TRL. I can't tell you any more about the mods because I don't know the details either. However, I can tell you more about what to expect and where I think you'll see the most improvements.

My Sony got delivered to Paul at TRL today. He said 2-5 days for the mods and then back to me. Hopefully by this time next week it will be well on it's way to me.

Ecruz,

I couldn't resist and I bought one as well. I'll probably send mine out after the New Year.

Clio-
I'll let you know what I think once it gets back to me and burned in. If it's half as good as Paul says, I'll be very happy.
