Take the digital out from the CDP. That is the only way to do it. If you don't have one you are out of luck. Analog output(s) don't have a signal the DAC can decode.
Please teach me something
Instruct me on the use of external DAC's . I understand what they are and what they do but I don't understand how to use them with a stand alone CDP .
Do you connect the ext. DAC to the analog out of a CDP thus doing the digital to analog thing twice ? Or do you connect to a CDP's digital out , if so equiped ? Many are not .
In the case of the former (connected to analog out) , wouldn't the CDP's DAC's alter the final outcome from the ext. DAC thus giving a different sound for each different CDP used with the same ext. DAC ?
Thank You .
