You did not indicate a budget or indicate input output requirements. I use a Wyred4Sound 10th anniversary DAC and an Aurender 100H server with a Linn Unidisc 1.1. I believe the Cambridge CXC CD transport only has an SPDIF and Optical out, no USB out. The transport can go into the SPDIF of the Wyred4Sound for playback or the Aurender for burning or buffering before playback with the Aurender. The Aurender USB out can go to the Wyred4Sound USB in. Price of combo used is about $4k and new about $8k with the new Aurender 150 which reviews indicate better my 100H. I find the combo organic and articulate like vinyl without the background noise with dense and three dimensional images, wide stage, excellent timbre and detail, and smooth.
