tassardar_ 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2007 I been wondering one thing. A budget cd player with a mid range external dac will it be able to par a mid range cd player. Currently Im thinking of using my cd5001 to be a transport and pair it up with a dac instead of getting a brand new cdplayer (which in the future I want to upgrade again will be hell of a hassle to keep) Also any recommandation to purchase a decent one sg. On a side note, the dac on the emu0404 usb is it superior to those found in low/mid range cdp? It has been quite well received and considering it has optical/coaxial in it will be a interesting upgrade covering both my cdp and pc together lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tassardar_ 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2007 planning to use my cdp as a transport to the dac in addition to pc as source. Technically 2 source running via 1 dac. I wonder will be better then a new cdp as source? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
