Which cd/dv mega changer using an outboard DAC?

I do - I have a Pioneer and Sony - I prefer the Pioneer - the Sony is a bit brighter but like I said one is really not far superior to any of the others I listened too - I did not listen to the Marantz.

They are all pretty similar as transports - the DAC is what will make them rise up and improve their ability to make sound. Pick the one that has the features you want and spend the money on the DAC.

The Pioneer I have is the DVF 727 - it is a DVD/CD changer that does 301 disc - it has a coaxial output and toslink - the Sony only has a toslink - The DIP is a device that goes between the CD player/tranport and the outboard DAC - it smooths things out and helps to correct jitter from the transport to the DAC -it has a couple of digital inputs and a couple out so you can hook toslink in and come out with a coaxial to the DAC - AudioAdvisor.com use to sell them and may still. I think they sold for 299 - not sure. Most of the CD only megas only have a toslink out from my experience. Not sure about the Kenwood.
