ical icon mkii transport same as the delta

i just got an alpha dac and am using my old icon mkii as the tranport. thinking seriously about upgrading the transport and a delta seems like a good choice, but is it much different than the icon? another transport? also looking fo a tube that woould be more out and present with bigger bass than the mullards cv4004's. any suggestions? thanks

the delta is a slight step up from the icon, invest in a good power chord to your icon first. However money better spent would be to upgrade the alpha to an EVS Millenium II dac. I did just that and it was a totally jaw dropping experience, much bigger than a transport difference. I have auditioned the alphas and sigmas, but this is clearly much more resolution, warm and soundstage. I'm tempted to get a delta (I've auditioned them extensively) just to make sure I'm not missing any nuance that the EVS can resolve

good luck
