CD Transports

Since CD transports just spin the discs, would I be justified in spending a lot of money on one, or buy a reasonably priced one (both units being well respected), and put the extra money into a more expensive DAC?

That is what I upgraded to and have never looked back ! Happy listening !

I know it may be heresy to admit this , but I have a PSA Nu-Wave phono pre-am and it too has a I2S port that I run into my PSA DAC . I can do instant A-B comparisons using my Pass Pre-Am ( Analog v Digital ) and actually prefer the digital. ( use the shortest , newest , HDMI cables for the connections for best results ! ) Happy listening to all ! Shad
