I am not too well read on the technicals, but as I understand it, a reclocking DAC should be less sensitive to the transport than one that relies on the transport's clock. Now, I know there is also much talk about asyncronus vs. syncronus reclockers, and I am completely clueless there, but hopefully, somebody more knowledgable than I will post here. IIRC, PS Audio's latest $1K DAC reclocks, as does the well regarded Lavry ~$1K DAC. In fact, you could sell the Shanling for the price of a decent DAC for your 3910, I think.
Shanling CDT 100 - considering adding a DAC
Shanling CDT 100 - considering adding a DAC:
What are thoughts for a great sub ~$1K unit that will take this player to the next level (without spending exorbitant funds on internal mods)? There are so many out there, and I am a little dubious about the actual gains I could get from this. Also, I'm not too concerned about going for older (5-10 years) to be able to get a bargain. What real advances have been made in DAC technology that relate to their priced going up so much. These things, I ponder.
Please response with opinions and well-informed thoughts!
