Denon 2900 w/ external dac


Hello, I'm looking for some opinions on whether or not the Denon 2900 would benefit from an external dac, I guess what i'm asking is would the denon make a good transport, for a 2ch cd setup. thanks. ps. any ideas on a decent dac would be appreciated also.

I don't know about the 2900, but my 2200 sounds much better using the internal DAC than using the digital out to my Anthem AVM-2. I think you will need an extremely expensive DAC to beat the denon quality.
Read the reviews of the 2200. Many people feel that the sound is superior to the 2900, especially for the money. Get a modded 2200 from underwood instead of a 2900? Save money and get better sound!
