Recommended Transports for an Audio Aero DAC


After researching this weekend, there isn't a whole lot of information out on this specific topic.

Any recommendations for a reasonably priced transport (pre-owned) that gives a whole lot of bang for the buck would be sincerely appreciated.

I will be getting the DAC (latest MKII version) by the end of the week, and will mate it with a Denon 2200 for the time being.

Thanks!

My turn to give you advice!
I use a ML 37 transport and 36s DAC.
Had Proceed CDD and DAP.In a nut shell:ML 37 much better than CDD. 36s not that much better than DAP.The transport is going to give the detail the DAC the character of the sound.Proceed indeed very good value used.Look for a ML 31 or 31.5 Transport and that may be the last money you ever spend on a CD player.My rule -Spend the most on the transport . 31 or 31.5 with Aud Aero DAC should be fantastic!
Good Luck

Please note that the 31.5 is not made anymore.MLevinson also not going to make dedicated CD transport anymore.If you find one used ,take it !Same for the 37 also.No use in having the Aud Aero DAC and using a less than top notch transport.(I bought my 37 used as well.)

Rethought question.Perhaps Proceed CDD is value for money bargain.Has been discontinued.Now even selling for less,used.Think it will combine well with AA dac.
If you can ML 37 or 31 or 31.5
Good luck
