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

RE: We all have a budget.

I didn't mention budget and should have. I'd like to keep it around $1500 if possible. A used DAC makes sense; there's not much that can get abused other than connections. I'm thinking that I might start looking for a used FMJ D33.

The irony is that I purchased a Rega Apollo years back and one of the criticisms of the unit was that it didn't have digital output. At the time I had no interest in DACs so it wasn't even a consideration. I've been really enjoying the Apollo through a tube buffer preamp. But now that I'm looking at using a DAC to help with bad CD recordings/mastering I'll have to consider another CDP as a transport for the DAC. It never ends. :-)

Note: The constructive criticism of the Rega Apollo was that it didn't have a digital INPUT so it could be used as a CDP/DAC combo. TK
