Inexpensive CD Transport

I just purchesed an old Wadia 32 D/A and currently have a new NAD C540 CD player. I hate to waste the DAC in the 540 (24/96) so I am thinking about selling it and getting an older player or transport unit -- I love the sound of the Wadia 32. I have also considered getting a multi disc player for convenience. Any suggestions or should I just keep the NAD...also are there any issues with the digital out on the 24/96 player and the older Wadia? Thanks.

Abstract, Roger, Rutel, Ljgj, Lak, Swampwalker and South43 thanks for your comments -- I am going to keep a lookout for an inexpensive CD player/transport per your all suggestions. Would love to get a Wadia transport...I'm not worried about the company, I think we'll see them again. I will also look at the Acurus and Micromega. Have heard great things about the CAL also. Again, thanks for your help and time.

From ticklers on other threads, I looked into the products of Electro Visionary Systems (EVS) @ tweakaudio.com. It looks like this guy's products are VERY highly regarded -- check audioreview.com. One of his products is a Sony CD player modified to be a transport only for $650, gets rave response. Then there's his updated Millenium DAC that apparently is pants-wetting good ($850), and an affordable digital amp is in the works. Anyway, the site has a lot of interesting info, products, and tweaks. Check his discussion of the new audio formats under Audio News. Any feedback from y'all?

Patriot- Actuall I use to own both Micromega Stage 3 and Acurus ACD-11, as you want to use as transport I recommend ACD-11 but if you want a one box digital go with Micromega. Regards, Rute.
