Question to Levinson DAC Owners

I recently purchased a 36S, and am now in need of a transport. I was thinking of a 37 for the benefits I get from the communication port, but will this piece really help out the sound quality? Since the 36S (and the rest of the 36x series)has the FIFO buffer and re-clocks everything anyway, wouldn't almost any transport do if I don't have to worry about jitter? Has anyone tried a 36x DAC with several transports? Thanks.

I use a fairly inexpensive Wadia 22 with my Levinson 36
with VERY good results, it took away all the hard edges of the music, most important when using B&W 804's which are too forward with most combinations.
I have hooked several Transports to it but this seemed to be the best combo by a stretch.

Hope this helps,, feel free to ask any further questions or see my system for associated equipment info.

I use the stock cord on the Levinson so far and most of the time an entry level Shunyata on the Wadia.
I have a Voodoo 90 degree iec but it wont fit under the Levinson ;-(
I continue to look for cords for it.
