Transport Help

Now I've done it. I went and picked a used Aragon D2A which has imporved the sound but now I'm told my Rotel 970 is not the best as a transport. So now I'm looking for a good used transport for around $500. Any recommendations? Is there a difference in newer technology? Should a guy strech the budget to get something that much better? Any help is appreciated.

the rotel 970 has a phillips cdm-9(?) transport which is supposed to be very good, so it should work fine, no need to upgrade unless you can here a real difference

I agree the CDM-9 transport on the 970BX was excellent in its day, so the rumor your heard should be ignored. The Studio quality all metal transport on the Rotel RCD-990 was the same basic design, with aluminum instead of plastic tray, etc, etc.

The audio note dac zero could be considered. I have heard some very good things about it in it's price range. You should be able to get a used/demo for around $500
