Transport For Use w/ MF Trivista 21

Just picked up this dac, and currently have at my disposal both a Pioneer Elite DV45a and a modded Sony DVP-NS500v universal player. Also got a Stereovox DV2 dig cable, which seems to be widely praised as a great value in my price range.

So, my question is are these reasonably good matches as transport for the TriVista, and to get significant improvement over them, what would I need to move up to? Is there a "giant killer" transport that isn't a computer?

My guess is that in a few years, I'll probably reluctantly move to a server as transport, but I am reluctant to invite Bill Gates or Steve Jobs into my listening room.

Just to put it all in perspective, vinyl is my current strong preference and about 90% of my listening is usually LP. Thanks for your opinions,
Spencer

Solentgreen, what have you learned regarding power cables on the Trivista 21?

Everyone, so other than trial and error, any advice on how to decide if a certain transport is likely to be an improvement or not?

One potential candidate is the Alesis 9600, due to all the other tremendous functionality it brings. I've heard modded ones sound great, but I don't know if the mods affect mainly the transport or the dac side. Cheers,

Spencer
