arc cd3 are commonly used for transports (this is a great setup with the AL dac).
however, changing your digital ic cable might surprise you. i am using a dh digital cable in the meanime while i am looking for "the right one". it is a great cable for the money but lacks the ulimate resolution and bass slam with this level of gear. it's best to avoid adapters on this connection and keep the length to a minimum of 1.5 meters.
also suspending your cable should offer sonic improvement
