The effects of jitter and its reduction with TT3.0 will be less pronounced with analog out vs digital out to a DAC. I dont think uDAC-2 would cut it. Try Dacmagic or V-DAC. you can buy used on audiogon.com. I dont use CD players anymore, because a simple cleaning of the CD would produce a different sound. -- SoftwireEngineer Main Wellborne Labs Power Supply -> SBT -> Zu Ash Coax -> TACT Digital Integrated Amp-> Zu Wax Speaker Cables -> Silverline Sonatina.
