I would recommend the North Star 192 Dac and Transport. Very smooth combination with detail I never thought possible without the harsh digital glare that I have experienced in other high end digital front ends. I have owned Wadia, Cary, Musical Fidelity, Classe, ETC... This is the best that I have heard in my system. I use the coax input with my DVD player for amazing 2 channel movie sound and the i2s connection from the Dac to the Transport for incredible CD reproduction.
In my opinion, worth an audition.
