Would an external DAC improve the sound of my SONY


I have a SONY SCD222ES, would a external DAC improve the sound and if so, which would you recomend?

Yes, but I would stay on the used cheap side of things as your Sony is just a below average kind of a transport. Look at older Bel Canto, or Musical Fidelity or the Scott Nixon DACs.

Happy Listening
i would agree with bigkidz. sony doesn't have the best sound in cd playback. the transports are very good and there are a lot of people that modify these transports to sound very musical. another way is to purchase an external dac unit. other dac's to audition would be from cal audio. they make some nice tube dac's and if you modify the stock tube, you can achieve a wonderful sound from any sony.
Even new sonys have their own distinct sound. Personally, I think they make great transports but will only use one with an external DAC. I like warmer, less analytical sound.
