Transport for Tri-Vista 21 DAC

Thanks for the input guys. Saw a Theta Jade on the site a few days ago but havn't followed-up. The holidays are slowing me down. Also been thinking about the fact that the DAC 21 can handle higher input data rates (e.g. 96K). Maybe a DVD transport instead of a CD transport? Not sure what music is available at that data rate. I'm mostly a classical and blues guy.

Antony also said he was reclocking the bitstream when it hit his DAC. I.E., there is a reason for his not caring about what transport you use and all DAC's do not share the same requirements. I'm driving the DAC with the cd player it replaced at the moment (Arcam CD23), when the Arcam finally gives up the ghost (it has made a lot of revolutions and just keeps on ticking) it will be replaced with something used that either looks cool or is dirt cheap. Anyway, were I you and it my money I'd blind test a dirt cheap cable and transport against a more expensive alternative before spending. If you can't tell the difference blind 10 times out of 10. . . . . .

I'm using a CAL Delta that I bought as a back-up while my usual transport is being repaired. I cant believe how good it is - at about $300 used! It's detailed, musical and certainly a revelation at its price point.
