need suggestions - transport for EVS Millenium Dac

I have an EVS millenium dac which takes up to 24/96 input
I am currently running my cal icon to it via coax
It sounds very nice and revealing but I can't help thinking that I can still improve on the transport

not wanting to spend a ton of money ($400 -$800)

need input on best transports Cal Delta? Theta? which models? DVD?
favor picking up a used piece on audiogon

are the new DVD-A/CD universal transports out yet?

any recommendations on cables?

thanks

I have owned a Cal Delta and have also owned or tried a few different, low cost ($1k<)transports.
The Theta Data Basic is an excellent transport, but I would check on service before you buy.
Newer Theta's are probably very good.
My personal favorite is a Parasound CBT2000, which I have owned for about 3 yrs and have no plans to sell. I also have a modified Aiwa XC37M changer, which gets frequently recommended. While I prefer the Parasound to the Aiwa, it is not bad for little money spent.
I have also tried several digital cables for less than $200 and my favorite is the Harmonic Tech Copper link.
