Transport for use with Wadia 27ix

As it says in my other post, I just got a great deal on a Wadia 27ix. Other than the obvious Wadia 270, what transports should I be looking at? Will I get better CD sound out of a 96k enabled transport, e.g. Theta DaViD or Carmen? I currently have a Sonic Frontiers T3/P3 with a BAT VK5i to which I will be comparing this new set-up.

go with the wadia. a great feature of the Wadia from a tech standpoint is their clocking technology - jitter reduction. you're gonna lose that if you go with someone other than wadia.

greatnorthernsound.com. talk w/steve who is currently doing all of wadia's service work. he says you need the 270 to get the right clocking, jitter stuff(special cable).plus, he's convinced a killer transport is at LEAST as important as a good dac. happy holidays.

Not with the 27ix, but with the Audio Logic 2400 DAC, which also decodes 96K, the Theta David comes in a distant second to my primary CD transport (44K) a CEC TL-1x

Had tried about a dozen different transports with my Wadia 27ix dac. And the winner is Pioneer Elite PD-S95 dedicated transport. I can't say enough about this transport. My buddy has a hi-end store and compared all the big expensive transports. The PD-S95 transport works best with the Wadia using optical out. Sounds great!!!
