Running the changer thru something like a Benchmark DAC would certainly net an improvement. But keep in mind, this is not going to be a "night and day" type of improvement. It will be subtle, but definitely "hearable". Is it worth the expense (~ $900)? That's up to you, your ears, and pocketbook...
Can a new DAC make a 6 disc changer sound better?
I have an Integra 6 disc changer that I use when I want background music or want to listen to more than one disc at random. I have the digital out running to the DACs in my Integra reciever that I use as my preamp. Are there any external DACs out there that would make this setup sound better or is it a waste of money. I don't understand why the transport would make that much of a difference compared to the DAC. I use a Philips 963 SA when I am doing more serious listening. Would a different CD changer be a better choice than buying a DAC?
