In using a seperate DAC and transport...it would often be nice to have the music keep playing...diner parties..etc. So, what is the best sounding..and working CD changer out there to use with an outboard DAC?? Thanks.
For not a lot of money Harmon Kardon makes CD Changers with Digital outputs. Only one I've heard. There are others such as Rotel RCC-945 & RCC-955. The 955 has HDCD, so may outperform your DAC with those CDs.
Parasound CDC-1500 works well. Has coaxial digital out and can be upgraded to use ATT glass fiber. It uses 20bit Burr-Brown chip set so the onboard DAC is also quite good.
I just bought a Marantz CC67 on Ebay for $168. I was a dealer demo. It was one of the few inexpensive cd players with a coax digital output, most only have toslink. The price was right--so I thought I would take a chance. New list on them last year was around $400.
