You can have a world-class transport with a good Sony DVD player, such as the DVP-S7700 (~$200 used) with mods ~$500.
Zanden DAC owners
After listening to most of the current crop of top DACs, decided to go with the Zanden DAC for its amazing capabilities in the areas of resolution, musical communication, and organic, natural way with music. If you have this unit, you know what I'm talking about-the 6 moons review was dead on.
My question is: what transport/cabling/connector combination do you use to wring the utmost out of this amazing unit? (Many think that BNC is the way to go on this but there aren't many BNC Transports)The new Zanden transport (oh my!) was just introduced at CES but there's still no pricing on it. Was considering the Accustic Arts transport on a very short list. Anyone try this with the DAC? Any other recommendations?
