Thanks for the info. I do have a Denon 3910, that may pair well with a DAC and perhaps better than with the Shanling. I am wanting a noticible improvement right now, but don't want to dish out $5K for a DAC and transport if I can get away with it. AND.. the Shanling just looks too cool not to try and squeeze every bit of sound I can get out of it!
Shanling CDT 100 - considering adding a DAC
Shanling CDT 100 - considering adding a DAC:
What are thoughts for a great sub ~$1K unit that will take this player to the next level (without spending exorbitant funds on internal mods)? There are so many out there, and I am a little dubious about the actual gains I could get from this. Also, I'm not too concerned about going for older (5-10 years) to be able to get a bargain. What real advances have been made in DAC technology that relate to their priced going up so much. These things, I ponder.
Please response with opinions and well-informed thoughts!
