My 2 cents worth. I am a former owner of a CD63SE which I sold in favor of a DVD player as a transport. I loved the CD player but found it a bit bright at times. I first bought a MSB Link DAC and a digital cable from Millersound in Pennsylvania. I found the combination to be excellent. You can find a Link DAC for around $250-$300 used without looking too hard. I love mine and have no desire to trade it. I do wonder if I should have sold the CD63SE though...Some people you talk to will knock DAC's because of jitter, etc. I only know that the combination in my system along with my Jolida integrated tube amp and Silver Bullet 4.0 interconnects makes me very happy. Good luck. Dan
