I have always been intrigued by the possibility of having a digital out from CD players to be connected to the (pre)amplifier. Obviously both have a DAC, but how does one find out which is better, since information on type/brand is not always easy to find. Generally speaking, is there a preferred way of connecting the CD-player, or is it irrelevant for signal quality? Please forgive me if this has already been beaten to death, but as a newcomer to the forum it is tedious to scan more than the headings of posts  ------------- Best regards, Werner |

There's a lot interesting information in the threads relating to the development of Graham's two DACs; the Bitzie and the soon to be available Majestic. I am very much looking forward to comparing the DAC built in to my Cyrus CD 8SE with the Majestic preamp-DAC. I'm intending to connect the CD player to the Majestic by digital coaxial. ------------- Ifor ===== Reflex M & ACCESSION M, CuSat50, Majestic DAC, a Proprius pair. |
