The one I just got has a Wolfson DAC which is reputed to be nice. I have always used the DAC built in to my CD player. I'm thinking about getting really serious with my sound system now. I know this is one of the last machines of a dying breed but it's a really good example of the CD changer format.ĭo you guys hook up a DAC to the cd player?

The specs I found online were way wrong compared to the specs in the manual and there are only a handful of reviews that I found. There really isn't a lot of information out there about this model. Performance-wise, it compares very well to the single-disc Onkyo C-7030. It has coaxial and optical digital outputs that can be used simultaneously with the analog outputs. This CDC-3.4 reads and plays it with no trouble at all.īuild quality is excellent, user interface is intuitive and it cues and loads discs at least twice as fast as the Onkyo. For example, my copy of the "Once" soundtrack wouldn't play on my previous CD players, the above-mentioned Onkyo and a Denon from the late '80's. It reads discs that I have had trouble with on other players. (Some CD players have a clean, sterility that I am not particularly fond of.) The Integra has that same warm quality but it also presents a lot more detail than the Onkyo.

(If Onkyo = Totota, Integra = Lexus.) The thing I liked most about my old Onkyo it replaced is that it sounded warm, full and rich. Integra is the high-end, premium division of Onkyo.

If you're interested, there is a wealth of free information over on, too. The DAC in my CD player does a great job and that is the only way I currently play digital music. Personally, I don't own one and don't plan on it any time soon. Some people like to have the ability to choose their own DAC for the increased sound quality and flexibility they can afford. Standalone DACs just do the last part, but they typically do it with higher bit depth and sample rate capabilities than standard, consumer grade CD players. In a CD player, digital information is read from a disc and it stays in a digital form until it goes through the onboard DAC, which converts that digital information to an analog signal suitable for connection to your stereo. CD's are digital info, but they're full quality sound. So, is it basically like a "pre-amp" (in a sense) for say, a computer or iPhone, something with low quality or compressed source music? I don't quite understand the use with a CD player, though. I don't know if this helps or makes sense. Many allow the user independent control of gain and volume. Often, DACs afford more control options as well. The benefit is that a good, separate DAC is likely to be of higher quality, both in sound and build, than a DAC that is chosen as part of another component. It allows a high quality starting point from the source to connection to an amp and speakers of your choosing. Typically, one would use a standalone DAC to process music from a computer, CD player or transport, network streaming device.pretty much any digital music source.
