I have both the Classe transport and dac in my system. While I have never tried the Levinson, I can tell you that the Classe is an excellent transport. It's a good match with the Classe dac. I used both the balanced and the AT&T digital outputs from the transport into the dac with excellent results. The transport tracks well playing scratched cds,it is quiet and has the same built quality as the dac.Good luck.
