I have an older model Music Vault paired with a Luxman DA-06 DAC.   I tried feeding the same DAC with an older CEC transport and a PS Audio Perfectwave transport.  

The Music Vault beat out both transports.   The CEC was the better of the two transports, but it lacked detail and was flat sounding  compared to the Music Vault.   I expected to like the PS Audio Perfectwave transport based on all of the glowing reviews, but was unimpressed.
