Parasound C/BD 2000 Belt Drive CD Transport


Good evening all,

I am using the above CD transport and am very happy with it. My question is, what determines if I can play more than just Red Book CD's? Is it the transport of the DAC? Would I need to add anything to the transport plus an appropriate DAC to play some of the esoteric CD's? Thanks for your response.

Realremo, According to DIYHIFI which many do use to purchase parts, etc, and are the home of Lady Day 300b and many other components both kits and factory built sell ready made (75 ohm digital) cable in 2 lengths only 12 inch and 5 meter which are claimed to be the correct lengths. I actually probably had read something somewhere about cable length for digital signal so thought I would order the 12". It actually does seem to make a difference and I have a nice close proximity with transport and dac. Although the 12" is $59 and the 5 meter is $79--not much of a price break for going with foot length. And they are indicating 5 meter not 5 foot-- but you must have heard the 5 somewhere. I am not a cable freak by any means. The only other cable I paid just over 200 for is Kimber Kable speaker wire. Always wanted to try it.
