If you are going to use a dac then a good transport is always going to make a big difference. I've experimented with the concept over twenty years and you need a good transport to hear what your dac and system is truly capable of.
How important is the transport when using a DAC?
Hello,
I've been thinking lately, if my transport is extreme low-end, is having a nice DAC a waste of time? In other words, if I am using a $60 Sony DVD/CD player to deliver the digital signal through a coax cable to my Arcam r-Dac, is that not doing it justice? Do you recommend I upgrade my transport to better meet the quality of the DAC or does it not matter?
Thanks!
