CD Player - Dgital Out on Onkyo C-7030

Does anyone know if the spdif output on this CD player by-pass the internal dack on the player? I rarely use it, as the sound is poor compared to CD to Flac files downloaded on my hard drive. I am wondering if the purchase of a CD transport would improve the sound quality of playing CD's. Sometimes I just want to play a CD.

Update, after a bit more research (thanks for the notes included above) and in an effort to avoid additional wiring and another connection I decided to go with the Audiolab 6000CDT and have been playing CD's non stop since I installed it. I am extremely pleased with the sound of this combination the 6000 CDT and the Gustard X26 Pro dac. It was the improvement I was seeking and now I don't feel that the CD's have to be stacked in the basement. Thanks Bob

Congrats!  And thanks for the update.  Of course you can always add a Remedy later if desired as it apparently works well with the 6000CDT.
