To DAC or not to DAC?

Posted by newtonnjd (A) on March 3, 2007 at 22:09:51

I currently use a Cambridge Audio Azur 640C for CDs, and a CA Azur 540D for DVD/DVD-A. I am happy with both and have no specific complaints, but I've been reading some glowing reviews of mid-priced DACs and I'm wondering if it's time to incorporate one.

I'm considering getting a used DAC from Audiogon or Ebay in the $500 price range, then selling the 640C to cover some of the costs and using the 540D as the transport for all discs. I'm assuming the 540D transport would be very similar, if not identical, to the 640C.

Would the combination of the 540D and something like a Bel Canto DAC-2 or a Muse 2 be a decent upgrade from the 640C? Or should I just be happy with the 640C?
