Greeding to all DAC users


Hi all, This very new to me so as many info provide as possible, please.

Q1, how much should I spend WISELY on a used DAC to mate well with a used $1k cdp? In other word, could a cheapy $350 used DAC benefit or degrade the $1K cdp?

Q2, will a DAC change or shift away the house sound from my Cdp Meridian 508.24?

** If possible, I also have a DVD Pioneer Elite Dv-79avi ($1K, msrp) that I'd like to add on this DAC for 2-ch audio as well.

Many thanks,
nasaman

You are better off to reclock the transport and use a cheaper DAC, like a NOS DAC. The master clock is more important than the DAC.
