Outboard Processor Question?

I am looking at possibly adding an outboard processor such as the Cal Audio Gamma or Sigma to my Sony CDP-C701ES changer. The sony has an optical cable connection only for outboard. My questions are is this changer worth the cost of an outboard processor such as these and would I notice a substantial change with either of these processors mentioned. I like the changer for the 5 disk capability and the Cal Audio's would fit perfectly in the limited space I have. Thanks for any input.

I have had great luck with my sony multi cdp running the toslink to a SF jitterbug than to the processor. This also converts the signal to rca output. My multi cdp player also benifited greatly by using cones.
Good luck

I am using DH cones, Don,t know about the isorock but have tried some diy (bubble wrap and board) with minimal but positive results. When I tried the toslink directly to my old dac(adcom 600) I was not impressed. When I added the jitterbug, Wow. The jitterbug added detail and clarity, the soundstage really opened up. I do think that the rca cable is much better regardless of the jitterbug. My current dac does not support toslink so my view is limited. I do think that being able to convert from to toslink to rca is a big advantage. You can play with digital cables to find the synergy. Hope this helps
