inexpensive transport for benchmark dac 1

hi. i bought both a marantz 8260 sacd player, and a benchmark dac 1 to compare. using the marantz as a transport, i preferred the sound of the dac 1. when i sent the marantz back, i found that my old cd player (rotel 855) and two recommended dvd players (toshiba 3960 and panasonic S47) both sounded greatly inferior as transports, lacking in both detail and transparency. what have others found to be successful as transports (keeping the cost as low as possible)? thanks very much, kb
