Sony DVP9000ES as a Redbook Transport?

Thanks for all of the input. I am a big believer in what a difference a transport makes. I have now tried several in my system but just have not found the right one..

BTW: I own an Electrocompaniet ECD-1 DAC. I would consider a one box solution but the DAC serves double duty on my computer music..

Thanks again,

Chris

If you haven't already check out Empirical Audio. He seems to do alot of what you're after.

In theory all transports should be the same,
however in real life there are some differences, which make them sound different. To name a few: Jitter, Power supply noise, error correction algorithm, etc.....
The lack of detailes and poor soundstage probably caused by a jitter on SPDIF output.
Properly designed external DAC can help significantly.

I currently have a Sony DVP9000ES and an Arcam FMJ 23.Both
are being run into a Benchmark DAC 1.I am purchasing a
Denon 3930CI. I plan on keeping the Sony or the Arcam. Any suggestions on which one to keep.Currently I use a Toslink from the 9000ES to the Benchmark and a D-60 coax from the Arcam to the Benchmark. ???
