Transport needed !



     Hey all ! Im totally stoked, i just aquired a Parasound HINT6 ! I have a 30yr old pair of MartinLogan Sequels. So i start by hooking up my Bluesound Node2, analog out. I use Tidal and the sound is soooooooo good. Since this little digital machine sounded so good i thought what the hell get a transport for CD’s
       I know theres budgets for everything lets say 300-350. I would like to tryout the onboard dac, 
  • ESS Sabre32 Reference DAC (ES9018K2M)
  Im still reading about it…..

any suggestions ????

Buy a second-hand DVD player with coax output. Mine is a JVC that cost $26 with free shipping on eBay. I use it with the Khadas KTB DAC ($90). Bits (0's and 1's) are just bits! Only the neurotically obsessed will claim otherwise! 
If $26 for a DVD player sounds too cheap, I also bought a 2003 Toshiba TOTL player for $90 (new $1300) and a TOTL Sony 8000ES from '03 for $80 (new $1300). I will also use these with the Khadas DAC!
