DAC's & SACD's. Can they be used? Total novice..
I am using a Sony SCD333es player and have been kicking around using a DAC due to ungrade fever. I am naive about the DAC thing so please bear with me. After looking at the owner’s manual for my unit and the new SCD-xa5400, I see that SACD's only output through the analog outputs. During my perusal of the DAC threads I see that the outputs need to come from the digital side. Is this true, or am I missing something?
If this is so, must I hook up the CD player using both outputs? I hope not, as I have no more inputs available on my KCT pre. And even if I did muster up another input how could I toggle between the two? Or is it automatic?
Anyone recommend a nice DAC for this particular player, or am I wasting $...?
Gear; Krell KCT pre, Krell FPB300cx amp.
Thanks everyone & Happy Holidays from the high desert of So. Cal., John
