Transport for Theta Gen VIII?

I am awaiting my Gen VIII and Theta Compli Universal which I'm going to use. I was trying to make that same decision and decided on manufacture synergy, plus all the universal players are a compromise in performance but will be good enough. I also preferred serviceability and a key factor and that ruled out all the European dedicated transports only (Been there done that – no music for months). I considered the Wadia but realized the extra clocking connection would be a waste.

Also if Sony ever gets off their ass and authorizes the SACD digital option for Theta Gen VIII then you will be able to connect them digitally and have the Gen VIII decode SACD (which it is already setup for allegedly).

I am extremely pleased with my Theta Gen VIII and Compli combination. Replaced a modified Sony SCD-1 with the Compli with superior results. The Compli's standalone SACD performance is excellant. Recommend a high end digital cable such as the latest Purist Audio Dominus as well as an isolation device for the compli. I use Aurios Pros under the Compli coupled with a Mapleshade maple platform that sits on Black Diamond cones.

Thanks for everyone, I will order the Compli.
