hi alex:
as a dsigner and modifier of digital hardware, you must know that there is no best dac/transport combination, just as there is no best preamp, no bets amplifier, no best speaker, etc. . why audiophiles persist in asking this question is beyond me. perhaps you have an answer.
as far as body is concerned, a subjective term as it is, one might want to consider some of the older tube players, like the cal tempest or aria.
