Is anyone using the outboad DAC of the Cambridge Audio 840c with a digital transport? how does it compare to its CD playback?

It sounds great. With lossless files I think it goes head to head with the 840c as a cd player. Now if I can only get the duet to stop being so flaky. Great when it works (about 75% of the time) but I am always having networking problems with it.
