So, if I have all this correct: If the Musical Fidelity has a digital correction engine, then this might be $1200 (less discount of course) very well spent. Also: forgive my ignorance, but I do not understand what jitter is, and how it is manifested in the music. How does it effect the music?
TO DAC OR NOT TO DAC?
....that is my question. I have a Micromega Stage 1 CD player. I just read, in Stereophile, the review of the Musical Fidelity DAC. Add on a DAC, such as this, or upgrade my entire CD player? Which is the most cost effective way to go? It seems that this DAC, if it is cut out to be what it's supposed to be, is the way to go. Feedback about DACS, in general, would be appreciated.
