I am a newbie to stereo music. I want to know the differences in SQ from a DAC chip incorporated CDP and the one without a DAC chip. I am planning for a dedicated cdp for stereo setup and narrowed on two models. i.e. Marantz CD6002 (used one as the same was discontinued since 2008) and CD5003. The seller suggested to go for (latter model) a new one, which is very much updated. My concern is that CD6002 has Cirrus Logic CS4398 DAC chip, whereas the CD5003 does not have a DAC chip.
Can someone enlighten me the differences between the DAC and nonDAC version of CD-Ps in terms of SQ and features? This would help me finalise my CDP requirement.
Thanks
