In your position I'd bypass the first purchase. Wait 'til you've put aside $1000 and get a Benchmark DAC.
Add a DAC vs. Upgrade CDP
There are two other current threads that address this general issue without looking at it from this angle.
Right or wrong (there's alot of debate on this in one of the other threads), I am going to accept the position that a nice DAC will cure - or at least minimize - the weakness of my CDP (a Denon CDR-W1500) in my system.
I'm looking for a used SS DAC made within the last 5 years in the $500-$750 range. I'll then upgrade it every 6 months or so to a DAC $500-$750 more expensive.
Recommendations?
