Recomendations for simple CD transport

I own the Northstar transport and the Audio Logic 24MXL DAC. Reasonably priced, dynamic, MUSIC; isn't that what we're "looking" for? Any cable recommendations? Currently using Cardas Golden Reference Power cords (both units; into a Walker Audio Velocitor S) RS Audio Palladium interconnects(DAC to preamp) and i2Digital Digital between DAC and Transport.

I know this might be heresy but I had an Audio Alchemy Pro drive once that was very nice. Never had much respect for the AA stuff but the drive was respectable (IMO). It had a separate power supply and an unusual turntable type transport where the CD was placed shiney side up. During my several years with this product it had no problems al all. I used it with DACs other than AA and it performed admirably. I think the price was reasonable when it was new. If you can find a nice used one it shouldn't cost much and I think you will be pleasantly surprised at it's performance.

Thanks for your responses. I ended up with the NorthStar 192 DAC and Transport and am very happy with it
