A Cambridge CXC transport. Teamed with the following DAC`s: Bifrost, Gungnir, Aries II, or MHDT Labs, would be hard to beat for that amount. The lowest priced Luxman, if you could find one.
I went for the CXC, the first version, and got a great open box deal on it from Crutchfield for $389. Paired it with an MHDT Orchid DAC and swapped in a Tesla 6CC42 tube. It sounds wonderful, and I avoided over-spending (to my own lights) on a technology that will very likely keep ceding ground to streaming.
