Marantz 67SE CD player


Does anyone know if this CD player would benefit from an outboard DAC or a sound processor. It has digital outputs both coaxial and optical.I already have a Musical Fidelity X-10D connected between the player and my Jolida 302amp using the analog outputs and it sounds excellent now.Can I get anymore improvement in the sound.

I had this when it first came out. I found it decent, but on the lean and dry side, no matter the quality of the electronics and cables in the system. I tried rich and good DACs like the CAL SIgma and the Alpha as well as the Theta Pro Prime II. The CD67SE always had that same sonic signature, lean and dry and slightly recessed. This affected the tonality and tmbre of the whole system. I sold it.
