Transport for Scott Nixon Tubedac+

I just received my Scott Nixon TubeDac + with 3XAC power transformer. I'm looking for transport direction and/or suggestions. I now have an Apogee Wideye (.5 meter) run from my Marantz SA8260 to the Tubedac. At my disposal I also have an older (late 80's) Nakamichi cd player4 that works flawlessly still, also a couple Toshiba dvd players, and even a Marantz DV8300. Would any of these be a good transport? What makes a good transport? Does the length of the coax digital cable make a difference?

Thanks

Bb,

Out of curiousity, you might want to try the Cary as a transport. I used my CD-308 breifly as a transport and it bested my other options at that time (Theta Miles, Sony DVD-S7700, Sony DVP-S900ES). However, I was using the Cary to output a 24/96 signal using the built-in upsampler. I think you will have to stick with non-upsampling with the SN DAC.

Give it a try!

Enjoy,

TIC
