Hi,
I used a CAL product, not the dedicated transport but their Icon Mk II player as a transport and then upgraded to the Data Basic Mk II transport which I bought used over at Audiogon! Needless to say, the sound was great!
CAL, Theta, Wadia, Levinson all make good transports! I believe the Wadia and Levinson is good but probably a bit expensive! The Theta Data Basic MK II can be had used here for $450 to about $650!
The Data Basic Mk II is a lively, upbeat and neutral player! The Theta Jade is warmer sounding and the Pearl is slightly less warmer than the Jade and still a good performer!
A freind of mine uses the Data Basic Mk II with the EVO Millenium DAC II with good results!
All the best!
Rgds,
Ramesh
