Player/Transport best mated with AMC DAC8

I have an AMC DAC8. I run it with a CD8b player using the digital output. I tried the DAC8 with my TEAC T1 transport and it worked fine. I think you could just go for the best transport you can find--you can always upgrade the DAC later.

One thing to be sure to do: link the units with a cable that is 1.5 meters long. Shorter is worse, with digital.

My comparison of digital cable length used a 1-meter length versus a 1.5-meter length. The 1.5-meter length was clearly superior, and image clarity and stability was one improvement. If the longest cable in your test was only a meter, you may not be aware of the potential benefit to be had.

It doesn't have to be expensive to do a test. I used Apogee Wyde Eye and made up the cables myself. For a similar result, under controlled conditions, see the upcoming issue of UHF Magazine.
