One more vote for Classe CDT-1/DAC-1 combo. As long you don't listen back to back with a good vinyl set up, it might fool you in believing you are listening to a analog set up (with right cabling)
Top Choices Under 2K Dac and Transport
Helping a friend put together a separate digital system. Keep the price at $2,000.00 and under for a DAC and Transport. He does have a Onix XCD 88 CDP,that could be used as a transport if need be. Keep your choices solid state and those you actually use or have heard, and the signature they present. Many thanks.
