Hi and thanks a lot for the very kind and helpful reply
Honestly i was thinking indeed to what you mention " You will not be able to do this with an off-the-shelf kit ".
Project closed before start.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,

you could remove the analog section of a CD player that you like and insert it into a DAC (which has the digital input thing already worked out).
Just an "out-the-box" thought.
Hi and thanks for the reply.I think that the analog sections are not that critical.
Even some based on op-amps can sound extremely good.
It is the digital part that is critical.
For instance take any solid state chain, from preamp to speakers, and put in front of it a good turntable.
The sound will be from at least quite good to excellent.
I am not saying that a very good analog output stage does not improve sound. It is like the icing on the cake.
But the cake is the good digital part.
I would be satisfy enough to get a piece of cake ... i can do without the icing.
And i am against tubes in general.The digital is a very difficult beast. And all these discussions still going on after almost 30 years since its birth show that is not fully understood.
The analogists talk about records, music.
The digitalists talk always about equipment, that is the real nightmare.However i am extremely curious to see the new dac from Schiit Audio that promises to give a completely new performance with cds.
I am very curious. It could be a real tech advancement.
The medium then, the optical cd, is shit (with just one i).
It is just not possible that when treated with a demag pistol or some spray it sounds differently, like it does.
Or that only hyper expensive transports can read it efficiently.
This tells me of a wrong medium by design.
So i am trying to stay away from cds as much as possible.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
