I guess that all depends on what and where you want to take your system.
This has been discussed many, many times here, and the answer is always that the transport makes a big difference.
What that means to you, you'll have to decide.

How important is the transport when using a DAC?
Hello,
I've been thinking lately, if my transport is extreme low-end, is having a nice DAC a waste of time? In other words, if I am using a $60 Sony DVD/CD player to deliver the digital signal through a coax cable to my Arcam r-Dac, is that not doing it justice? Do you recommend I upgrade my transport to better meet the quality of the DAC or does it not matter?
Thanks!
