Transport & tweaks for audio logic 24MXL

I just bought an audio logic 24 MXL with Marigo apparition digital rca and it sounds good with stock denon 3910.

Would i improve performance significantly with better transport? I want to stay below $ 1000 used unless there is huge gain. How is CEC TL51Z?

Are there tweaks with power cords or NOS tubes?

Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot guys. I tried the DAC with $70 philips dvd player, denon 3910 & modwright 999es. They all sound different with the 999 producing the best result.

I just got a new TL51X today and it bettered all the other transport. More details, weighty and full and improved spatial clues. One thing i did not expect was the improvement in macrodynamics. I thought i was going to get the Apl 3910 but i am pretty happy with the sound. may be I am done for now.

What are your favourite NOS tubes with the audio logic?

Thanks guys. I got a pair of Holland Amperex 5922 and they are a worthwhile upgrade. The Purist audio Dominus is also superb.

Thanks, Sutts. I also have the marigo apparition. I have the version with metal jacket. Do you know what version is that? is the newest version much better?

Tab,
I got the Holland Amperex 6922 PQ. It has lower noise level and more details than my original tubes (unknown NOS by previous owner). I used used to run RCA input. With the PAD Dominus XLR and Amperex, the detail and front to back imaging is better. THere is more composure on complex and loud orchestral music.
