Cd Player Or Transport And Dac
Cyrus s servo evolution disc reading software plucked from its 1750 cd xt signature below combined with enhanced internal circuitry creates a performance that s difficult to criticise.
Cd player or transport and dac. The entire audio business of cd transports and dacs is built on the totally backward setup of the cd player containing the master clock and the dac being the slave. It is also quite an interesting beast as it can also act as a digital preamp but this is of no use in your system. A transport just plays the cd and spits the digital output to a separate dac. You ll need a standalone dac to handle all the digital to analogue conversion.
For info the 8300cd is a combined transport and dac and can output both digital or analogue signals i e. A traditional cd player. Most cd players will have some form of digital output allowing you to use a separate dac. In the case of the cd player it is the transport whose speed is adapting to the dac s effective requests for data.
Traditional cd players including the our own cd5 and cd10 units have a built in dac digital to analogue convertor which means that there s an analogue audio output. Thus you can use a cd player like a transport if you have a separate dac.
