Is Levinson 31.5 still the best transport for $$


Is the Mark Levinson the best transport in todays market, or do you think that CEC TL1X maybe a better sounding transport.
I am looking for top end unit that will perform at its best with lots of slam. Dealers welcome on opinions

Also Dacs , also is the 30.6 Levinson the best for the 31.5 or is there a better combination out there.

Looking for a Dac that will deliver excellent performance , must have full bass , nothing feather weight.

The current state of the art is the EMM Labs equipment. My customers have gotten rid of the following in favor of the EMM Labs:

Accuphase DP75v
Accuphase 100 / 101
Audio Note DAC 3.1x Balanced / Spectral SDR3000SL
dcs Elgar/Verdi/Purcell
Levinson 31.5 / 30.6
Wadia 27ix / 270
Zanden Model 5000 MK II

There are so many more that I have not listed.

The ML combo was state of the art for quite a while, but the technology is quite behind a number of current products.
