So if we use EAC, the data from the computer should be as good or better than the best transport can provide. This would mean that running a file (processed by EAC) from the computer to a DAC rather than using a transport would result in the best possible reproduction (limited only by the DAC and downstream equipment). If this is the case, why is everyone still using transports?
Using a CDP to copy a cd to computer
Anyone tried using a hi fi CDP to copy cds to their computer? It seems like you would get a better "read" with a higher quality cd player. The internal CD drives on computers can't compare to a good CDP. I wonder if a digital "out" jack on a cdp could provide a signal that a computer can accept?
I'm using a iMac G5.
Any thoughts? Experience?
