cd player or computer with dac

Thanks Steve and Jonathan, you both agree that the CD transport is unnecessary. That has been the unresolved issue for many of us. Now, if we can just make the process of switching over a little less daunting...
"Slowly I turned...step by step...inch by inch...,"

This is maddening! For those who don’t understand our trepidation concerning the "computer with DAC” option, this thread should be an epiphany. I can’t understand why two esteemed DAC designers would have almost diametrically opposing viewpoints on what, seems to me, should be a matter of basic science. Determining what’s important in the relationship between the interface, master clock and DAC shouldn’t be like resolving competing theories in quantum physics. I’m not trying to put anyone down; it’s just frustrating.

After a good night’s sleep and breakfast, I’m unhappy with the harsh tone of my last post. And in the first place, I am not technically competent enough to be the one to make that point. I apologize if I offended anyone.

"data resynchronization and magnetic separation of the ground. The first solution allows different methods to release from the transmission on USB, using on-board reference oscillator with low jitter of the DAC is capable of re-clocking of incoming data from the computer with absolute precision.

Thank you. I now know what to do. I’m buying a turntable. :-)
