No, is the short answer in my opinion.
The CD17 is an excellent player, which I owned before my Creek Evo 2. To be honest I have had an Arcam rDAC before and when experimenting with my CD17, Evo 2 or SBT found it made no difference whatsoever, and since I no longer have a PC downstairs feeding a DAC optically I no longer have any need for a seperate Dac of any make or description.
