How is Rotel RCD-1072 as a transport? Jitter?


I'm contemplating the addition of a DAC to my stereo, and that would mean taking the digital signal out of my Rotel CD player thru its 75 ohm coax. I vaguely recall an article in some magazine pointing to the Rotel's bad jitter performance. Am I right?

DACs being considered: Bryston, W4S DAC2, Weiss DAC2, Bel Canto DAC3, Accustic Arts DAC I. Rest of system: Lamm LL2D, McIntosh MC275, B&W 804S.

Thanks!

No jitter from my RCD-1072 for years now. Fabulous machine. I recently upgraded the interconnect and the thing sounds even greater. In a way I wish it would go so I can then justify an upgrade (LOL). But this machine sounds so darn good and it's built like a tank. What's wrong with the RCD-1072's own internal DAC (Burr Brown PCM1732)?
