I wish to thank all of you for taking time to reply and offering your advice. I apologise should I not have been clear in my original post.The DAC I mention is an outboard Musical Fidelity X-24K. Since I received my modded Sony CDP, I notice no discernable difference whether I connect the outboard DAC or not.
Should I notice any difference?, considering prior to the clock CDP upgrade, there was a marked difference when the CDP was connected to the DAC.
My ‘logic’ informs me the outboard DAC should now be producing even superior sound, seeing as it now has a far better/clearer signal to convert. Is my ‘logic’ flawed here?
Thank you also, for pointing out that these costly upgrades are being made to an ageing Sony CDP from the early‘80’s and that I should consider there is the possibility something such as the laser could fail.
The 80’s Sony ES range, were built like battleships, utilising a solid copper chassis. Thus, my choice of updating the clock, electrolytes and caps as opposed to buying a new modern CD player, which would have cost far more than the £550.00 ($1k), I spent on the upgrade to deliver the same sound.Audiocom were amazed at the hidden potential locked within the CDP’s transport.
After reading your replies, one thing I have decided, and that is not to go the DSP 24/96 upsampler route.
