My studies show if you have a bit perfect player you will be hard pressed to screw it up with a DA converter. The audio section however is what matters, as well as the filtering curves. So, again the analog sections supersede the digital as long as the digital section has some minimally good performance.
A CD PLAYER whose sound quality NOT AFFECTED by the DAC?
Is there such an animal? I mean… why buy high quality and then have to thread it into my Bluesound Node DAC?
