To clarify matters.The NORTH STAR 192 combo is great but @ 5000$USD.I wanted a pair but couldn't afford it.Chalitr the 3000 asking for CEC & Sonic Frontiers I think is still a good deal.That CEC is a very solid transport.I personally like it a lot.Smooth belt drive.SF is excellent too.I would go for it.I paid about that for my used transport/DAC.
KRELL/ARC(1989-94 production pieces).One can argue about improved D/A converters but for transports I believe the older ones are more solidly build,than the current ones.I keep my eyes open for a nice KRELL reference 64 dac ,they will compete with anything out there,I hear.My two cents.
