Well there's a good reason that outboard dacs cost what they do and that's because they are usually far superior to built in dacs. On a changer it's pretty much a no brainer. Both of you guys would most likely be better off using your changers and transports and finding a dac in your price range. Do your research as there's alot of them out there. Give your price range and people will be happy to make suggestions.
CD integrated v. DAC
Looking into buying a CD "player". Im looking at getting a integrated player or possibly a DAC unit to add to my current player. I can get a higher end DAC for the same price as a lower integrated unit. Is ther any advantage to matching brands? My current system Audio Note oto SE integrated and B&W CDM-1NT speakers with a Marantz CC4300 changer. Im looking at an audio note DAC-1 v. there ANCD2 integrated player. By the way Samply rates filtering of Audio Note DACs ?????
