Experience with Audio Alchemy DDS pro transport

Since my PS Audio transport has quit breathing I have to buy another transport. I'm thinking of buying the Audio Alchemy DDS pro + DDS PSU pro power supply. It'll be combined with an Northstar Design Model 192 DAC with either the AES/EBU connection or the I2S connection. Does anybody have any experience with this transport?

If this is the one with Pioneer platter where the CD is placed shiney side up, I owned one. Never had a problem with it, worked perfectly while I owned it. It was the only piece of Audio Alchemy that I liked. They haven't been made for a long time though.

Satch,
I really liked the I2S connection. I had some upgraded I2S cables that were excellent. I think they were made by Audio Magic but I'm not sure since it was quite a long time ago. If you decide to go with I2S I'd recommend searching these cables out as they will be worth the effort.
