Soney 9000ES as a transport


I've ordered my Sony 9000ES "MIB" (Men in Black) and wanted to know if anyone has used this as a CD transport. If so with which DAC? I figured that I would try the SACD stuff, get a great DVD player, and possibly a decent CD transport to use with my MSB Linc Dac II or may get a Muse 2/96 dac.
Thanks.

I,ve had mine for a week, 140 + hrs. As a cd player it is good, but doesn't come close to my Levinson 360s + upsampler
combo P-1a Perpetual Technologies combo. I think that it
makes a great transport. Rest of system consist of JR 8t amp,BAT VK-30se pre, B&W N802 speakers, 4 Richard G, 1
Quantum Symphony Pro, Power Snakes Cobra, Viper, Sidewinders, ASC tube traps, Analysis PLus Silver Ovals
speaker cables + int, Transparent Ultra XL from pre to amp.
Video section of this player is the best I have seen.
(incredible!) My only compaint is that it does not read
CDR's.
