Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
I thought the Emotiva was a DAC Yes and no. The ERC-3 is a CD player, and does have its own internal DAC (delta sigma). It also has digital output capability which bypasses the internal DAC. I am using the digital AES/EBU output and have it conne...
