Sony NS999ES ModWright upgrade vs. external DAC
Hi! As usual,help needed.I have Sony NS999ES CD/SACD paired with Bryston SP-1.7 Pre/Pro. What would be a better way to upgrade this combo ( I'm mainly interested in upgrading Redbook playback performance, even though SACD is important as well)?
To upgrade the CDP or to buy an external DAC?
What would be an upgrade from the Sony 999ES internal DAC and From Bryston's DAC (if not used in analog bypass mode).
My take is, that an external DAC is more flexible solution, and possibly even less expensive than ModWright upgrade. Any suggestions for DAC's in the $300-600 range used, that will be a noticable improvement over Sony and Bryston, will be greatly appreciated. Regards.
