Quality Transport for my Dac

I have a PS Audio Directstream Dac. Looking for advice on a good /Quality Transport to match it.
Looking to spend 1-2 grand, I have the 1s2 hdmi cable. Do not think i need to spend more. Advice Please
Thanks.

I'm very pleased with it's Redbook playback. Music is realistic and dynamic. The Directstream DAC will stream if you install the Bridge II.

I tried S/PDIF coax, but had to roll a lot of cables until I found one as good as the I2S.
