I use a Meridian 200. Look at Sam Tellig's conversation with Anthony Michaelson , Musical Fidelity's owner, in Stereophile. He told Sam the transport was not critical with the 21 and about anything would do.
Transport For Use w/ MF Trivista 21
Just picked up this dac, and currently have at my disposal both a Pioneer Elite DV45a and a modded Sony DVP-NS500v universal player. Also got a Stereovox DV2 dig cable, which seems to be widely praised as a great value in my price range.
So, my question is are these reasonably good matches as transport for the TriVista, and to get significant improvement over them, what would I need to move up to? Is there a "giant killer" transport that isn't a computer?
My guess is that in a few years, I'll probably reluctantly move to a server as transport, but I am reluctant to invite Bill Gates or Steve Jobs into my listening room.
Just to put it all in perspective, vinyl is my current strong preference and about 90% of my listening is usually LP. Thanks for your opinions,
Spencer
