Transport for Tri-Vista 21 DAC


Picking up my new Musical Fidelity DAC at Audio Connection tomorrow. Looking for some suggestions by former or current owners for a transport to use with the 21.

Antony Michaelson, in the January 2004 Sam Tellig review, stated that "any old (transport) will do". That quote should raise some eyebrows on this site.

Antony also said he was reclocking the bitstream when it hit his DAC. I.E., there is a reason for his not caring about what transport you use and all DAC's do not share the same requirements. I'm driving the DAC with the cd player it replaced at the moment (Arcam CD23), when the Arcam finally gives up the ghost (it has made a lot of revolutions and just keeps on ticking) it will be replaced with something used that either looks cool or is dirt cheap. Anyway, were I you and it my money I'd blind test a dirt cheap cable and transport against a more expensive alternative before spending. If you can't tell the difference blind 10 times out of 10. . . . . .
