That Arcam is a pretty damn good sounding unit. You may find that it will take a pretty expensive DAC to get meaningfull improvement. Then of couse you'll need a cable. Then you might have issues with jitter and might decide uou need another device to deal with that. In the end you might discover that you have a different sound, but, not necessarilly a better one. Then there's the coming Hi Def video thing to consider. Lastly, digital gear doesn't seem to hold its value as well as other gear.
To Dac or not to Dac
I think I have too much time on my hands but,,,,, I am currently using a Arcam FMJ DVD27a CD/DVD player and I'm toying around with the idea of adding a DAC to my system. One option I am looking at is to get the new Musical Fidelity KW DAC.Any thoughs about adding the KW Dac would be appreciated.
The rest of my system consists of B&W 802D L/R speakers. Bryston 7B-SST monoblocks and a Mcintosh MX135 pre/pro.
