I have a PS Audio Perfectwave DAC II and I'm currently using a NAD 565bee as the transport. Simple question; how much does the transport affect the sound and at what cost?
Significantly, but at a cost. A dedicated transport from a quality manafacturer should improve the sound. But so will better digital cables, power cords, a better dac...better software etc etc.
wow some great replies above. my opinion...for what it's worth...is I'd step up the entire digital front end...maybe a used dCS Puccinni...has a pretty good volume control built in. Then down the road a preamp.
I do like a preamp vs digital volume control...but again...in a priority I'd do something like a used dCS Puccini first...get the source as best as you can first.
