Splurge on the SimMoon. The Audiolab sounds good but there have been some reports of problems with the slot loader.
Audiolab 6000cdt or Simaudio Moon 260DT (transport only)
Hey guys,
I am wondering which transport to use to feed my MHDT Labs Orchid DAC? The Audiolab is $549 and the Moon is $2000. I'm OK spending more if it's worth the money. How different can transports really sound? Is the price difference more due to higher quality materials and better warranty? If you A/B'd them, would you really hear much of a difference in sound? I know sometimes equipments sound a bit different but not necessarily better. I have a pretty high end system so I don't want to scrimp on my main input source and yet I don't want to waste money that I could be buying more music with. Thanks for your opinions and help!
