CD/Transport W/ External DAC


I have been using my cd player(carin fog) as a transport and has since died and gone to cd heaven. I was and will be using a Benchmark Dac1 as the Dac. My Question is there a sonic diference in using a cheap cdp under $1000 vs one in the $2000 range if it will only be used as a transport.
Thanks for your help

Hi Pychicanimal,

Pat from Mentor, OH pointed me in your direction. He says we have a similar approach to audio where organic materials (like paper in oil caps and pure copper connectors) yield a more organic sound.

I would very much enjoy sharing with you and learning from you on many audio related subjects but for now my questions are limited to the Parasound belt drive transports and what upgrades are done to them.

I'm a small OEM of audiophile gear; some say my power cords and non-oversampling DAC are the best for any price. I also have been doing DIY and professional upgrades for about 30 years (I started in the late 70's with some old Dynaco ST-70s).

I can do the upgrades to my Parasound if I knew what sort of upgrades were done.

Any idea what parts were changed and what circuit modifications were made?

Thanks.

Benjamin
