I have always felt that the Theta Data Basic II transport was a great value. I think used they are going for about $600. Has both SPIDF and AES/EBU outputs.
I tried my cheap little Pioneer DVD 563A as a transport with my DAC...(just for the heck of it really). Strange when something so cheap does something so well...it doesn't stand out at anything else it does?
I had the Northstar Model 192 DAC for about 1 year and never had any problems with it. It is an excellent performer and value. The used price varies but mine was around $950. It is extremely versatile with inputs and outputs.
