Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: new CD player and DAC needed

As someone explained to me when I was getting started:

Think of your computer as an equivalent of a CD transport. A transport reads the CD and sends digital data to the external DAC

Instead of a CD disc, you use computer files translated into an appropriate signal by your computer. You need a program like JRiver or Foobar to make that translation (from whatever format) into the signal sent to the DAC. So as long as the program you have can use the formats you have, you should be good to go

* Some frustrating setup may be required
