Should I use a separate transport?


I have an Accuphase DP 55v CD Player that has a problem reading - skipping, stopping, etc. Accuphase says it will probably cost around $500 to replace the laser and around $900 for the transport if it is still available.

I guess there are three options:
New CD Player
Replace the transport internally with a current Sony that fits and is compatible
Use an external CD Transport and the DP 55v as the DAC

The DAC is very good and it seems like a good idea to preserve it.

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated

I'm using a denon dvd 2900 also (paid $100 off craigslist) as a transport connected to a musical fidelity v-dacII with a pangea p-100 power supply. All together it was $600 and sounds pretty decent!
