Which cd/dv mega changer using an outboard DAC?


Anyone have experience using a cd/dv mega changer such as Kenwood, Pioneer, Marantz, etc. to an outboard DAC? Which of the mega changers and model is best with an outboard DAC? Thanks.

Thanks, guys. The Sony es do not have coaxial outputs which I prefer to use. The mega changers I mentioned have coaxial outputs.

Isn't there anyone using Kenwood, Marantz or Pioneer coaxialed to a dac?
Thanks everyone.

ljgj: What model is your pioneer?

killerpiglet: what is a DIP? One thing I forgot to mention, I am new at this addiction/hobby!!!!

msnloeth: was you marantz cc9100? how about the pioneer? model????

Thanks again.
KP, thanks. It sure is rewarding. Your experience is that it sounds better(more anologue) to connect the changer's toslink through the DIP, then coaxial cable to the DAC. So if I get a DVD mega changer, like the Kenwood DV5900 or the Pioneer Elite DVF-07, I should get the DID?!!!! Now I am wondering whether the CD or DVD sounds better as I am told by the salemen that the DVD will reveal more data than the CD; therefore it should be more revealing.
KP, I sure appreciate your sharing your experience. I have been bidding on a Kenwood cd4700 on ebay and will try it out with my DAC. Perhaps I'll get a DIP from AA and try to see if there's an improvement.
KP, I suppose you are lazy as I am and just wanted to enjoy the music. Ocassionally, I get ambitious and the urge to listen to vinyl so I play my records. Looking to learn about your other tricks. Thanks again.
