Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk..


I am considering a sim audio moon cd transport 260dt to replace my beloved CD player that just died.I have a Plinius 9200 integrated. What do I need to make this combo work? Do I need a DAC?I get that transports are different from players but I just want to make sense of all of this in a simple way. thanks!

I am not sure which cd player you're looking at the Moon 260D comes with the DAC the Moon 260Dt is the transport section only. If you have priced the 260D then you're good to go. 
I have seen the 260D listed for $3000 and the 260Dt for $2000 not sure what you wanted to spend you gave no indication. The 260D has both xlr and rca out so it should connect to your integrated. Prices of cd players with dacs are all over the place. You just need to make sure whatever you get has a dac which most players listed as cd players do. This simaudio Moon is a bit confusing how they market it, I assume the little t means transport only. If it is listed as a cd transport you need to get a seperate dac to go with it. 
If you want to buy used the music room has a BAT vk-D5SE  8 years old with a 24 bit upgrade for $2000, might could trade some old componet you no longer use or try to negotiate with them.
