I don't have the budget a lot of you folks have; my DAC is a Gustard X16 and it has appreciated the changing of coax cables from my transports. My first was a Sppo 103D which also allowed me to play SACD through it. My second was an Emotiva ERC3D which made a fantastic transport but the drives themselves only last about 3 years. Now that I but the drives from Emotiva direct it's not a huge cost. While I was waiting for a drive to show up I configured an older Pioneer Elite DV-47A for nothing but CD?SACD and digital out. It sounds really well, especially at the price. I'm trying to swing Audiolab 6000CDT to try out next, I'm still amazed at how much the coax cable makes a difference considering we're talking digital frequencies here.
CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE
I CURRENTLY USE A CAMBRIDGE TRANSPORT WITH MY BERKELEY DAC 2 AND TOGETHER IT SOUNDS VERY, VERY GOOD - ALMOST GREAT : )
AMP, SPEAKERS AND CABLES ARE ALL EXCELLENT TOO.
WHAT CD TRANSPORT WILL MAKE A SIGNIFICANT, AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE?
