jukebox w. DAC, can it be good?


I am now setting up the music system. I Should end up with a C Johnson pv 12 and C J SS. Don't cringe, I'd like to use a jukebox CD as a transport and couple it with a DAC. I haven't used a DAC before, so this is new territory for me. The WAF pushes the Jukebox thing. Can we get 'good' (not approaching perfect) sound out of this arrangement. Any suggestions for products. I'd prefer to go used for the DAC
Thanks, Martin

While I haven't used a jukebox as a transport, I would strongly recommend a jitter reduction device such as an Audio Alchemy DTI 2.0 or Pro. I would also suggest a more "forgiving" or rich sounding dac such as a Micromega DUO BS2. Another option would be to investigate the Art DI/O as a possible dac or even to take the analog out of the jukebox and convert to digital and back, using the tube warmth and upsampling capabilities of the Art DI/O.
