Maybe you should sell the 7700, and buy the Sony DVP-90000ES. It don't need no stinkin' DAC, just get very good cables and break that sucker in for a L O N G time. It withstands comparison to the best CD players with or without DAC's. I listen to a Forsell Air Transport through DCS upsampling frequently, and would trust the 9000ES to give me 97-101% of what that rig offers, at 10% of the cost.
Shall I mod my Sony DVPS7700 or buy a DAC?
Hi All,
I have recently upgraded my amplifier and seen a dramtic improvement. Now I wonder if I should mod my dvd player (sony dvps 7700 used as cd player) or buy a separate DAC(like the Monarchy 18b DAC auctioned on this site) or even a cd player. I am budget buyer and want to know how to maximize my investment (<$1000). I would highly appreciate any suggestions. My system is composed of paradigm studio 60v2, creek audio 5350se integrated amp. Thanks!
