dac with sonos

Mam sie swietnie.:)

Well, I am not assuming anything Beerad.
But, CDP with Digital ins might be the most economical way of having a silver disc playback with external digital source capability. That is the impression I'm getting from the author's question.
P.S
EA Pace Car is a re-clocker device not a DAC.
Is it good at what it does best..........? Yes.
Do you really need it to achieve the best possible digital playback - ????????

Mrjstark, thanks for your suggestions. I would be considering the Wadia/accuphase/audio aero capitol in my search. Certainly these aren't considered economical.

Hi James
All I am saying is that it isn't clear
what your intentions are.
It would have been a lot easier if we knew from the get go what it is exactly that you are asking and what it is that you are trying to achieve. Not to mention your system components, budget and preferences.
Over and out.

How about something from wadia or accuphase? My budget would be $1500-2000 preowned. Could be more if it would be fantastic.

I have a Cullen moded Sonos going into a Cullen Stage 3 moded PS Audio DAC and I still get a bit of noticeable jitter now and then. I listened to a Pace Car mod and heard less jitter, but was after other things with my mods too and didn't want the cost and clutter of a mod on top of a mod.

So long as you are pushing from a source to an outboard DAC of any kind using traditional connections, you're going to get jitter. Thus far, the ease of use of the Sonos interface outweighs my annoyance with jitter, so I'm happy enough. My hope is that standardized I2S interfaces catch on in the near term and we no longer have to compensate with these ridiculous fixes. Take a look at the new PS Audio PerfectWave to see what I mean.
