Which cd/dv mega changer using an outboard DAC?

I do - I have a Pioneer and Sony - I prefer the Pioneer - the Sony is a bit brighter but like I said one is really not far superior to any of the others I listened too - I did not listen to the Marantz.

The DIP will take the toslink and let you send it out as coax or balanced (while it cleans up some jitter).

The Marantz 300 disk CD changer does not have a coax digital out. It only has a toslink digital out. I ordered one about 2 weeks ago because the Marantz website says it has one of each. Again, it does not. Luckily I did not have to keep the changer. I called Marantz about it and they said it was a typo on their website. Their DVD changer probably has a coax digital out but I wouldn't buy it for CD play back only. I am now running my 2 year old Pioneer 300 disk changer through an MSB Digital Director and then through an EVS Millenium II DAC with very good results. The Digital Director lets you input a toslink cable and output a coax cable. It is also supposed to be a jitter filter. I've also been told that a coax digital out can be added to any changer for very little money but I don't know anyone to reccommend.

Thanks everyone.

ljgj: What model is your pioneer?

killerpiglet: what is a DIP? One thing I forgot to mention, I am new at this addiction/hobby!!!!

msnloeth: was you marantz cc9100? how about the pioneer? model????

Thanks again.

Yes, it is the CC9100 that only has the toslink out. My Pioneer only has a toslink as well it is a pdf1007. I don't think they make it anymore.
