How important is the quality of CD player when you are using a separate DAC? I'm using Musical Fidelity X-DAC V3 with Denon DVD-2910 as a transport. Would I see any benefits of using a high quality dedicated CD player over using the Denon as a transport?

most likely not... you will see a slight better performance for the jitter correction of the transport...but it'd be so minor it's not really worth it. IMO.

So if you're happy, I'd stick with what you have!Digital Audio makes me Happy.

Anyone have experience with a CD Jukebox and a seperate DAC? I remember from a while back Andrew mentioned the A3 24. I really love the convenience of my CD Changer (Sony CDP-cx355) but feel like all the music could be better if played with a better CD Player. I was thinking about using an external...
