Audio Alchemy DDS pro, Theta Digital Pearl or EAD

Thanks Dave!Very useful appreciation.I think the Jade could be a good choice,I´ll take it into consideration.Does anybody tried an EAD cd transport?I was thinking also in a California Audio Labs Delta transport.Any experiences will be appreciated.
Cheers!Raf

I had the EAD T-1000 transport many moons ago.I never had a problem with it.The build and sound quality were great,I loved it. I paired it with their DSP 7000 Series 3 dac...a very analog sounding combo. With that said,I would be concerned about replacement parts if needed.

Look into a used PS Audio Power Wave Transport,it reads and stores data on memory,which to me,at least,would be the way to go.It may lack some options you need but it is a giant killer in the transport universe and PSA has great support.

Good hunting...

I owned the Audio Alchemy DDS Pro at one time (a new one). It worked fine during the time I owned it, no problems at all.
If I remember correctly I used the I2S connections to other Audio Alchemy components.

Many thanks for your valuable suggestions!What do you think about a California Audio Labs Delta cd transport??Is it at the same sounding level of an EAD T 1000 or an AA DDS pro?Or is it more basic and does not outperforms in the same level?...Thanks for your suggestions!Cheers!Raf
