When using a DAC does the cd player really matter?
Is there a difference between a relatively inexpensive cd player versus one that costs much more. All you are doing is feeding a digital signal that will be transformed by the outboard DAC, right? Or am i missing something?
05-25-08: Rbstehno i agree with the jitter issue. i use a jitter reduction/remover device on all my setups before the external dacs. very big improvement.
Rbstehno, what jitter removal devices do you use on your system?
i use a couple different ones. i have a few audio alchemy dti devices and a couple monarchy DIP's. i like the monarchy DIP better but they are harder to come by. i also use the audio alchemy DDE in my family room, adcom gda-700 dac in my den and the manley dac in my dedicated audio room.
