Getting a DAC for a 300 disk changer is a great way to up the performance of the system. The DACs in the changers are not stellar performers but the transports are reasonable. You might also consider a de-jitter unit before the DAC but do that after you have tried the basic DAC/changer setup to see how it performs.
Using Sony 300 disk CD changer as transport
I am planning to purchase a DAC for my sister who currently is using a Sony cd changer mostly as a convenience. Preferrably I would rather buy a cdp since it is probably beeter in term of performance, but my sister doesn't want to have to change disk every time.
So I wonder if the Sony is a good transport and it is worth it to buy a DAC at all? This particular model only has an optical out.
