| looking for the best cd transport only, without dac DVD is the worst transport option I can think of ! You have already an excellent Dac you need also a good dedicated transport and quality coax cable . | |
| Oppo 105 and Hegel H160 DACs Don’t bother with the Oppo,if you’re looking for serious improvement the next step is a pure CD transport such as the Cambridge Audio CXC or other one if you can afford to spend more connected with good coax cable straight to the McIntosh 5200 tha... | |
| looking for the best cd transport only, without dac If you auditioned the Neo260D and compared to the CXC, the differences were very subtle that's show you how good the CXC is at the same level as the Neo260D that cost many times more !
