Transport Recommendations Please.

I have a headphone system. The digital front end consists of a Rega Planet (used as a transport) going into a Grace 901 headphone dac/amplifier and then into Sennheiser HD600 cans via Cardas Cabling. The sound is good (for digital) but I was wondering if purchasing a transport would improve the digital signal. My budget would be around $800 for a transport. Basically I have two questions: 1) is it worth it? and 2) if so, what should I get? Thanks in advance..

Rich,
Your dac is as important as the transport. I’m not familiar with your dac and have no idea where it rates on a relative scale, however I did read about it within your system.
With that said a real steal on a used transport would be the Parasound C/BD-2000 belt driven compact disc transport (one went on the site last night) {I’m not associated with the owner}. That transport will outperform other transports costing three to four times the new cost. And will sound WONDERFUL!
