I would listen to Steve (audioengr) on this. Your <$1,000 would be better spent on a box that fixes jitter than on a pretty box that creates it but can’t fix it. I assume you already/still have a cd player with digital output that you are using now?
On another subject, Herb Reichert inadvertently reviewed the Holoaudio Spring DAC for Stereophile using the Triode Wire Labs Digital-American Series power cord. When he replaced that power cord with a generic cord, the Spring list some of its magic. If you do not already have one, a good power cord may also add more listening value than a fancy transport.
