You appear to have a system with enough resolution to apprecitate a DAC. In most cases adding a DAC will be an upgrade, but of course you'll have to audition carefully between your CD player and DAC/CD player. You will also need to purchase a high quality digital cable or your purchase will be in vain. I've heard good things about the Musical Fidelity stuff, but haven't auditioned it myself. There are many DACS to choose from on the used market. I'd look at Levinson,Theta, Cary, and many others you can research here on Audiogon with a little bit of searching.
To Dac or not to Dac
I think I have too much time on my hands but,,,,, I am currently using a Arcam FMJ DVD27a CD/DVD player and I'm toying around with the idea of adding a DAC to my system. One option I am looking at is to get the new Musical Fidelity KW DAC.Any thoughs about adding the KW Dac would be appreciated.
The rest of my system consists of B&W 802D L/R speakers. Bryston 7B-SST monoblocks and a Mcintosh MX135 pre/pro.
