Karelfd - why don't you try jitter rejecting Bel Canto DAC3 or cheaper Benchmark DAC1? It will save you a lot of money for good transport and digital cable or improve performance greatly with the cheap transport and cable.
Jitter is a noise in time domain and eliminating it will make better clarity of the sound.
I use Benchmark DAC1 with $70 DVD player and self made cheap cable with great results. I drive power amp directly since Benchmark has volume Control.
Be careful with used Benchmarks since they went thru many revisions. According to Stereophile review Bel Canto DAC3 sounds a little better but is more expensive (two times).
