I used to have an EAD T-1000 transport, and it was quite
decent, especially at the price. However last year I sold
it and upgraded to a Levinson #37 transport. There is no
comparison. Bass is much deeper and tighter, highs have
less edge and steeliness, imaging is more expansive with
greater depth. You can occasionally find a 37 for around
$2000-2200. The new Levinson 390 transport/DAC combo is
supposed to be superb, but lots more money.
