Use a seperate DAC with a Sony SCD-C2000ES


I'm new here and have a quick question:

Would it be a substantial ‘upgrade’ to use a separate DAC with a Sony SCD-C2000ES? I have a stereo only setup with a pair of PSB Image T55’s and an NAD C320BEE integrated amp. I use decent interconnects and a line conditioner. I know this is all very subjective, but I have no idea what DACs are in the Sony.

Just some general advice would be appreciated!

TRL has modded this unit quite a bit with very good results.
$550 price point and the sound would be hard to beat by any external DAC for that amount of money and well beyond.
I had the Sony 595 TRL mod which is the non ES version of the 2000.
The 595 was excellent. The 2000 modded is supposedly a bit better.
Good luck.
