Interesting,
I have the EVS Millennium II DAC. It is very good. My Toshiba 4700 DVD is better than my $800 Pioneer Elite PD-65, and stands up well to the EVS. EVS is better in every way though. I don't care what I read..just what my ears "say". Also, the Toshiba 4700(I bet 5700) makes just a fine transport. I have noticed an improvement in sound when shutting off the LED display via the remote dimmer switch. You might want to try this. At 7lbs it shouldn't be better than my ~20lb Poineer as even transport ...but it is.
I agree with the jitter thing, a good digital cable will reduce jitter. I have found it has a more profound effect than even changing the DAC/CD player in many situations. I was shocked to discover this unfortunate fact. The Pioneer was better than the EVS with a bad cable!
