I use an old CAL Sigma II DAC for improving DVD sound through a two-channel system when watching movies. Sounds great.
Cheap external DAC for DVD player
I have never used an external DAC and would like to hook one up to the digital outputs my Panasonic 47S DVD player.
1) Can I hook the digital out from my DVD player to an external DAC and then in turn to my 2 channel preamp to play CDs?
2) And use the DVD players analogue outputs to the preamp for watching movies. Or would I still use the external DAC for movies?
Does this make sense.
Is there a benefit to do this with a $110 DVD player and will I get good CD playback doing this?
Which cheap DAC to get?
Scott Nixon or others.
...or should I just get the Oppo 970 and be done with it.
