Yamaha AX-570 amp

Congrats on the PT. It really is a nice integrated and can be a center piece of your system and it will drive most speakers effortlessly should you choose to upgrade. How does the on board DAC compare to your CD player? It should be a step up in audio quality. If you are interested in even better sound by ripping your CD's to a computer and using a computer program, let me know. There are some truly revolutionary programs like HQ player and Bug Head that will blow you away if you have the computer horse power to run them.

Honestly I don't know how the DACs compare. I just know that it sounds really good to me. I would definitely be interested in burning HQ CDs. Thanks, Blackraven, for your help.

I forget which CD player you have but to compare the DAC's instead of using the RCA cables (red/white) from the CDP to the Peachtree, you'd use a digital connection. Using a digital connection keeps the signal digital then it gets decoded by the Peachtree's internal DAC.

I used the optical connection from CD player to the amp.
