DACs and Transports--do they still go together?

Thanks all, have had questions answered on connections to transport--plenty of options, including custom orders from Lampizator.  

@jjss49 , yes, they still go together, or yes, I need a dope slap? 🤪

@facten, I see that MSB does offer a disc transport for their DACs in the same way Esoteric does.  How about Lampizator, then--inputs for transport, and what would be a worthy match--anyone?  Then there's the pre-amp/volume question.  

I'm trying to upgrade from a 2003 Wadia 861SE, all GNSC mods done between 2004-2007.  I know, it's old, but it does all three tasks, and with the right AC cable, interconnects, front-end power conditioner, vibration control, fuse and four PPT mats, this thing is performing.....or so I have believed. About the fuse mention, part of the GNSC mods was the Hi-Fi Tuning fuse I found in there about ten years ago.     

Thanks all, MSB is out of my reach, have inquired with Lampizator America.  Who likes a tubed output?  I have ARC REF210 mono blocks with KT 150's.
