Zanden DAC owners


After listening to most of the current crop of top DACs, decided to go with the Zanden DAC for its amazing capabilities in the areas of resolution, musical communication, and organic, natural way with music. If you have this unit, you know what I'm talking about-the 6 moons review was dead on.

My question is: what transport/cabling/connector combination do you use to wring the utmost out of this amazing unit? (Many think that BNC is the way to go on this but there aren't many BNC Transports)The new Zanden transport (oh my!) was just introduced at CES but there's still no pricing on it. Was considering the Accustic Arts transport on a very short list. Anyone try this with the DAC? Any other recommendations?

The Accustic Arts transport is a great one. I use it with an Audio Note DAC. Some people believe it beats the CEC transports. I also use the Norvana T2 digital cable which is a BNC cable. You can use cheap gold-plated RCA adapters from Radio Shack for the end that is not BNC if you need to. Nirvana says this does not reduce the quality of the sound.
