Does the Transport make a significant difference

I've owned a number of different CEC Transports and a CDP over the years (although I don't currently own one) and I have always found a special sound do to the belt drive system.
Enjoy...

I use a 47 labs Flat Fish transport that is modified with Black Gate caps and an upgraded Super Clock. It is powered by a custom battery ps and sounds superb! I have pics of it in my gallery over on Audio Circle and You Tube, search rodge827 on both to get a good look at it. I can be contacted through both sites to get more pics if necessary.

I hate this hobby:)! I disconnected my Parasound JC2 and went from the PS Audio Directstream strait into the Parasound A21 amp via balanced cables and it sounds slightly better direct! I tried direct with the PS Audio Perfectwave DAC II and it was terrible... I wish I knew then, what I know now. I could have saved some money. Needless to say, the Parasound JC2 is going up for sale on audiogon!

When you get a chance, demo a high quality tube pre in your system and might change your mind. High quality doesn't necessary equate big $$.

What fuses are you using in Directstream? Try Synergistic RED Quantum fuses. I believe your DAC uses 2 small 1A slo-blo
