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?

This is the best possible DAC to have from my point of view. I have one and I feel very lucky to have it.
You should of course aim for the zanden transport (I am!)....at this point, i have a lot more humble transport Steve McCormack. I think it is a good transport. It is of course not in the same class as Zanden.
I also think 47 lab flatfish is really really good. I used to have it and loved it. In fact, I think it was a mistake to sell it. (on the bright side, i made very good friends with the gentleman who bought it).
In summary, based on my limited experience, i would suggest the gorgeous zanden transport or the 47 lab flatfish.
best wishes.
