I'm confuse Do i need a dac for my cd player ?

Guys,
Thank you very much to all of you,now i've learned a lot.

Undertow,

Yes, EXACTLY what I was looking for, thanks!! If anyone has a differing opinion please chime in, otherwise I will go a DAC searchin and put most of the $$ in that.

Tickfight, Just remember its all really experimental to your taste, but I think if you find the right direction in DAC with all the inputs and major requirements you need first, even if its 200 or 2000 you will find easily what you would like about a 99.00 dvd player or a 4999.00 CD player or transport. So you really can't go backwards in the cost, cause sure you could go to the best TEAC makes and use a 4000.00 transport and definatly have a great one, but then you are limited to finding the DAC you want, so mess around for a CD spinner after the fact, then you will hear the differences much easier when hooked to the DAC you already like and are familiar with regardless what transport you use.
