"I guess if I want to make an upgrade from my old Krell Kav 300 cd( which I am using now as transport), and not to spend a fortune, I should look at used transports of the nineties...for instance I would like a Theta Jade or an Audio Alchemy DDS pro,an EAD T 1000 or ARC CDT1."

If you remember, the Pioneer transports were meant to be good quality, entry level units. They were OK, but really nothing special. I wouldn't expect too much of an improvement, if any, over your Krell used as a transport.

Hi Zd542!So which transport of the ninties would you recommend me, taking into consideration that I'll be using it with an EAD Dsp 9000 Pro and an ARC D 200 amp?Thanks for your suggestion!Regards!Raf

The ERC3 only sounds rolled off when compared to its predecessor which is too bright. It sounds every bit as perfectly balanced as my Onkyo C7000R which is saying a lot if anyone’s ever heard it on a good hi-end system. Just not as smooth and refined. I agree the ERC3 is as good as any player out there under $1K.

ERC-3 is outstanding (in fact, I'll go as far as to say it cannot be beat) at its price point, regardless of whether or not your intention is to use it as a player or transport.
