There were claims about technical and sonic advantages of not using SPDIF or USB cables.

SPDIF or USB can be jittery compared to internal connection inside a CDP. USB often shows anomalous behavior.

"all you need is a good DAC." Are you really sure?

There are many odd things in digital audio equipment. For example, see the playback of CBS CD-1 track 16 by a Sony CDP here.

Then see the playback of CBS CD-1 track 16 by Benchmark DAC1 HDR DA converter, a very good converter, here.
