Sony DVP9000ES as a Redbook Transport?


Is anyone using a stock DVP90000ES as a CD Transport primarily for Redbook playback? Just curious on its performance and characteristics with an outboard DAC.

Thanks,

Chris

In theory all transports should be the same,
however in real life there are some differences, which make them sound different. To name a few: Jitter, Power supply noise, error correction algorithm, etc.....
The lack of detailes and poor soundstage probably caused by a jitter on SPDIF output.
Properly designed external DAC can help significantly.
