using the scd-1 as a transport with a good dac,i use a dodson 217mkIId,makes a very good cdp great.i had a metronome t-20 transport and dac and this combo is far superior.
SACD player as CD transport?
Does anyone have experience using any of the SACD players as a transport for CD playback in combination with an external DAC? How good is it? Because if it's decent in this capacity, seems like you could have the best of both worlds, using it as a transport for 16/44 CDs (but getting the benefits of your DAC, assuming it's better than the SACD) and as a fully-integrated player for SACD software. I know the Sony SCD-1 has coax digital out (CD only), not sure about other models. Thanks.
