There is a $79 Aiwa Player that makes a great transport for a Link DAC. Recommended by the Chicago Audio Society and by Stan Warren. Available at Best Buy and places like Crutchfield.
Stupid DAC question
I am currently using an old Denon DCD620 cdp and want to upgrade. I have discovered way more info that my feeble brain can comprehend. Thus I seek wisdom from the audiophiliacs on this forum. I was considering using the MSB Link Dac 3 as an upgrade but found out that I need a digital output which the Denon cdp does not have (stone age cdp, I know). Would I be better off buying an inexpensive cdp and a Link Dac 3 or just buying a good cdp such as a Rega Planet 2000 AND will I notice an apreciable difference from the ancient Denon (some say a cd player is a cd player and there isn't much real difference in quality of sound). Sorry for being so long winded.
