I'm at the stage where I'm considering a CD upgrade. However, it's not clear to me whether or not adding a DAC is a viable option (sound wise). Does anyone have any experiances or recommendations on when or when not to use a DAC? I've heard that it's really not worth while and you should just purchase a new CD player. I don't know if it makes a difference but I only have an optical output on the CD player. However, I'm reluctant to buy a new CD player with DVD Audio pending. It may be that a new DVD player in a year or so is the way to go....? In the mean time I could add, say a Musical Fidelity X-ACT. My current system is: Amp - Musical Fidelity A2, Spkrs - Tannoy M3's, Kimber 4TC cable and Pioneer PDS703 CD Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Mark
