I've got a Cambridge CXC
Keep the Cambridge CXC it’s a great transport with extremely low jitter, and get hold of a better dac than the Zdac, maybe even one with remote volume control and bypass the manual Transcends one.

My beloved CDP finally bit the dust
I'm in a similar situation, as my CDP has been dying a very slow death. I, too, am thinking of the Cambridge transport, but have been looking at the oddly named Denafrips Ares DAC, mostly based on a recent review in CNet from Steve Guttenberg, a reviewer whose ears I've come to trust. If interested, read here: https://www.cnet.com/news/this-digital-converter-sounds-so-good-it-might-convert-lp-loving-audiophil... I'm not quite ready to pull the trigger, but I've been leaning that way. Best of luck. -- Howard |
@hodu thank you for the link!That review describes exactly the sound I'm looking for.There are just so many dacs to choose from nowadays and we can't really try them all:)The parasound hasn't garnered much attention but from what I've managed to dig up it may share some of the same positive qualities with the Denafrip.I'll let you know in a few days. |
