This is a more common problem with newer CD players and most DVD players. From what i can recall, there's "probably" a very simple modification that can be done to your DAC to correct this problem. I had to perform a similar mod to some 24 bit CAL dac's that i had several years ago due to the same problem. Whether or not you want to send your DAC in to do something like this is another matter.
As far as selecting a good transport that will negate this problem, i don't know what to suggest to you. You might want to look through the archives to see what has been suggested as being a cost effective transport. Once you narrow your search down, i would suggest calling the manufacturer to find out if that specific model outputs a constant signal or makes / breaks as needed. Given that your specific DAC "probably" ( i think that it does ) re-clocks the incoming signal that is sent to it, it might not be as sensitive to transports as some other less well designed DAC's. That's because the higher than average jitter that a lower grade transport produces is no longer a factor. That doesn't mean that "anything" will work optimally as a transport, only that you might have more options open to you. Sean
