I am interested in the reply to this also. I have the AVA T7 and 550EXR preamp/amp. I am using the Tosh 3950 a la Rosconey (where are you Roscie, old boy?) and am wondering if I can get a sweeter sound with a DAC. I am wondering, as Frank says, if the CD player just puts out 0s and 1s, who cares about jitter, etc.
Therefore, I should just put my money into a DAC, no? Am looking seriously at the AVA Tube unit.
