certainly. Don't worry about the output stage of the player as that section will be bypassed. But you will need a decent laser pickup stage. The old Philips with those CDM1s are perfect for this. The current production Sonys are s...t...
If I am buying a DAC, does my CD player matter?
If I buy a DAC, and my CD Player is just a transport...doesn't that mean the CDP is nothing more than a machine that spins a disc and pass info to the DAC? Wouldn't the DAC's sound overrides the CDP's so therefore it wouldn't really matter what kind of CDP I have?
I am asking because I read alot about the synergy between transports and DACS and don't really understand how it all affects sound quality.
