    hi everyone,
    i have recently obtained some bryston powerpacs for my pmc ib1's which i am very pleased with. they are certainly more impressive than my previous audiolab power amps.
    im am currently using marantz cd63 ki sig for cd playing and an audiolab preamp, these 2 components are going into another room with the audiolab power amps so i am looking for a new front end.
    they need to be from one manufacturer only and a matching dvd player would be nice but not essential. balanced outputs if possible and a trigger for my hidden powerpacs is essential.
    fairly general music tastes.
    approx £1000 each component
    look forward to options
    cheers
    neil

    Can the CD player take a DAC?

    This would leave your options open to either -

    a) use your cdp as a transport
    b) get a dedicated transport
    c) get a wireless music router, store the music on the pc and put it through the new dac.

    This is pretty much the 3 things that nearly everyone does.

    So... how about a DAC then?

    As to 'what's the best 2nd hand DAC for 1k? that's another question I reckon! :)
