Hi,

I have a rega planet 2000 cd player. I'm not that technically knowledgeable or inclined to mod it myself but I had thought of taking it to a local technician to ask if they can add a digital input to it.

This, I'm thinking would give me a great quality dac for my computer.


Good idea or not?

I've tried a couple of portable DACs like the HRT streamer pro but the sound really doesn't compare to listening to cds through my rega.

I doubt its within a typical technician's expertise to add such an input. It would require a sample rate converter too as the CD player has its own master clock. A considerable amount of design work would be needed, its not just adding a couple of extra chips.

Try a Behringer Ultramatch, upsampling to 24/88.2. They are a pretty cheap pro-audio DAC (it cannot cope with clipped CDs however - so no modern pop!).

Thanks, ok that might be what I'm looking for. I can go straight from my macbook or iphone into that. Seems very cheap.

Actually for the convenience factor, I'm happy to put up with a bit less than what I got with the rega. I can always upgrade the DAC in future too as the technology matures more.

After the first reply and then looking up the product, it seemed like it would function as a DAC.

I checked out the link above and from what I can tell, the guy is talking about it being used as a link between a cd player and a DAC.
