Outboard Dac's...Do they make a big difference?

Hi Folks,
I own a Mcintosh MVP 831 DVD/CD player, and am wondering if a DAC like the PS Audio digital link 3 or Cambridge Dac magic would give this 10 year old player any sonic upgrades. The Mac has a smooth sweet sound, but I'm not sure if resolution is at its best. Thanks for any input on your experiences using DACS.

Trumpetbri, thanks for the follow up post. So often, people ask for help and then don't tell us what they did.

BTW, are you a trumpeter? Given your handle, I thought that you might be. I sponsor the Rocky Mountain Trumpet Fest and play with several regional orchestras and bands around Denver.

I suspected as much. Yes, I love the VAs and plan to stay within that family when I "move up."

Hi Dave,
Yes I am a trumpet player. (Part time) I'm on you tube under Brian Nadeau if you want to check it out. Just a weekend hacker mostly. Haven't been full time for 30 years, but still love to play. Thanks for asking, and for your support. All my best...Brian.

Hey Bri. Yeah, you sound great. It's great that your keeping it up and a high level. I was never that good, but have lots of fun playing around town and hearing great players.
