CD Transport with XLR Out

Yes tweak1 just trying to keep the terminology simpler 

I'm using the IIS/I2S a.k.a., HDMI, input on a Matrix Audio Element X, fed from the same on a PS Audio CD transport. I credit the IIS as a significant factor in improved clarity. Just my take.

Say what you will, but I have found that the emotiva erc-4 is a nice affordable unit.

I had an OPPO 105 and when it died I bought a used 93, but it doesn’t have XLR.

I’ll be interested in hearing what you decide.

I have the Oppo 105 in home theater. I still have my 103, but have never particularly cared for it as either a CD Player or transport...so far the Shanling seems most interesting in my price range, but also may switch some gear around so I don't need a transport with XLR output connector...
