What would be the best transport for Meitner Dac 6

A transport that doesn't cost mega bucks, something that would work well together.

Thank you

As I understand it, the EMM DAC 6's DSD interface is proprietary, as there still seems to be no industry standard for this interface--none of the other current SACD transports out there from dCS and Accuphase can interface with the DAC 6 for the DSD signal, as they have their own different proprietary interfaces, and no other currently available players in the US have a DSD digital output that I know of.
