I endorse Kevziek's advice. You can find used Theta Data Basic Is and IIs here for between $400-600. I have a Theta Pearl which I'm using with a Bel Canto DAC1.1. I came very close to getting the Sonic Frontiers SFT-1 but it's at or above $1000. The Pearl cost me $600.

Your Theta DS Pro Basic II is a good DAC. Keep it and save a few hundred bucks buy getting a Theta transport. Although the SFT-1 is pretty cool looking with the gold and silver faceplate. :•)

Good luck and happy hunting!
