Will an outside DAC over ride the tubes

Both Ghostrider45 and Tobias are correct.

I have never seen the purpose of a digital out on a tubed CD player. Digital inputs would be much more helpful.

By the way, if you do this don't remove the output tube, but replace it with a cheap one. Your output stage may require on even if the output stage is not used.

hi restock:

i have a vincent cd s6. i can remove the output tubes when the cd player is used as a transport.

Do you dislike the sound you are getting with the unit? You could get a tube DAC.

Thanks for all the input, it is not that I dislike it I just wanted to try something new. I have the stock tube in the cayin and it sounds like I will just upgrade the tube. How much do I have to spend to get something with a noticeable change. I am thinking about 60 to 80 dollars, is this a reasonable cost????

And hey Ghostrider45, are you a RUSH fan?

Yes, I enjoy RUSH, especially in the car.
