transport for Chord DAC64


I'm planning on buying a Chord DAC64 and was wondering if I also needed to get a high end transport or will an average transport (ie < $1000) do? I believe that the 4MB buffer makes the DAC64 less transport dependent.

Thanks for your advice.

I have the DAC 64 and use several transports with it. The main one is the Electrocompaniet player but used as a transport. Greatest sound from this combo. I also use a Pioneer megachanger and it really elevates its capabilities. I also use a Pioneer PDR 05 with great success. It is a stable platter unit which also records. Very similar to the Pioneer 65 player which is also a great transport. The DAC 64 is a great unit and much more money would have to be laid down to better it. Right now it is my favorite DAC.
