What transport for my Birdland DAC?

CEC is thew best for you.

Birdland DAC's are very good stock, but can approach world-class when modded.

Who does the modding, Audioengr, Birdland?

Audioengr,
Okay, thank you for the post but, this is at least the third time I have seen you post with a cryptic, "nothing can beat this whatever modded".
What gives man? Are you promoting your own mods or others?
Please come forward with the details, or give it up man. If you have constructive suggestions I for one would like to hear them. The point is, call it out, or stop wasting post space.

Hello,
I've got a Birdland Odeon-Ag with the reclocker, too. Here's what I got running into it:
1) Sony CDP-CX400 jukebox via TOSLink
2) Theta Data II Universal LD/CD transport via coax RCA
3) Berendsen CDP-1 via BNC.

(I have to swap the adapter from RCA to BNC to switch between the Theta and the Berendsen)

Here's the straight dope. They all sound great, but the old Theta wins hands down. Even though it's 10 years old and needs a laser replacement (it's starting to reject some discs that it used to play), it's the clear winner. When I comparison swap between transports, it is with the Theta that I find myself tapping my feet and forgetting to do the next swap. I see there's a Jade out there for $1200 obo. See if you can get it for a grand. (If I don't get if first).
How do you like your Odeon-Ag, by the way? I love mine.

Cheers.

Tom
