Transport/Dac 101


Excuse me in advance for my complete lack of understanding in this matter. Right now I have a JVC DVD feeding into an MSB Link DAC 3 with no upgrades. I like what the MSB dous for the sound of the cheap JVD player and hey it's paid for. I am thinking about one of the universal players in the $300 to $500. My question is, when using an outboard DAC, isn't it pointless to buy a more expensive transport, since you are bypassing the units' internal cuircuits anyway? I don't get this whole jitter thing. And in the end, as always, I'm looking for the best bang-for-the-buck.
I primarily listen to Prog rock full volume. Your input as always is sincerely appreciated. Thank you, Matt.....

I would try a better digital IC first before the transport. I tired six different transports and the bette digital cable made the best improvement. Many dealers on Agon offer free in home trail periods.

Happy Listening.
