I should back up...newbie question...what type of CD drive is necessary/sufficient? Right now I've got a Cambridge CXC transport running into an integrated with a built in DAC. I'm guessing the CXC won't be useful in this situation. I should have prefaced the original question that I'm completely new to this and want to know what the complete chain looks like (hardware that reads/exports data to hardware that decodes and stores it). Any input is appreciated.
