If you have a "kick booty" DAC, does the transport


really matter as it is just a "reader" correct. Am I over simplifying it. When you plug your player into an outboard DAC don't it bypass the internal dac and stuff and shoot it to the outboard? Isn't the laser just reading the 1010101 on the disc and shooting the data to the DAC? If this is true can't a Joe just get a whatever player with coax/i.r./esbu out and just invest in a high horsepower DAC?

Yes it matters very much.
It all starts at the Extractment of the Data.
A DAC's limiting factor, is the quality of the data its fed.

Svhoang,
The data is digital from the Transport. You can view that data on a Scope and look at it at a analog standpiont.
Cable Quality?... SC Pulse transformers, and cat5 cable will blow many highend digitals out the water! USB has issues too.
Mel, true about the reclocking the data thing, but,
Truth is, It is limited to the quality of the data it's fed. It starts from the Extractment of data from the media.
