Which CD Transport for Aesthetix Pandora Signature DAC

I am using my Oppo bdp105 as a transport for my Aesthetix Pandora Signature DAC. I am using a Kubala Expression Digital cable ( RCA to RCA) between them. Do I get a dedicated cd transport and better cable or do I go to something that will rip and play cd's towards creating a library for my nearly 2,000 cd's? Do they make something that does both really well? Sound quality is more important than convenience. I know the pandora can support a music streamer but I am unfamiliar with that part of the hobby although I will move that way.
Thanks for looking and have a grea Memorial Day weekend!!
Best Regards!!

If you want a transport the best one is the PS Audio. I tried many and this is the best sounding with the Aesthetix.

I'll second the PS Audio recommendation.  But you'll get more performance out of one if you use their DAC or, as I do, a Wyred 4 Sound SE2 DAC, both of which can utilize PS Audio's proprietary I2S interface, which keep the three clock signals discreet in the interconnect.

The PS Audio PWT is an exceptional match with my Yamamoto YDA-1  DAC. I believe it is a excellent choice for any DAC.I've had this combo nearly 7 years and have no plans to replace it, pure musical delight.  My digital cable is High Fidelity CT-1 Ultimate.

What digital cable do you all recommend? My options are aes/ebu and rca connections if I were to assume the PS Audio PWT as a transport. Charles uses a HF CT-1 Ultimate which I assume is rca to rca?
