Transport for Exogal Comet Plus DAC

If you want a great working player that functions as a transport and is built very well look at a used Esoteric DV60 this player has a steel remote control, and no your not getting the renowned NEOVRDS transport it dosent cost 8K either. Highly recommend for use as a transport. The built in DAC’s sound very "digital" and not very warm or musical. Used prices have come down on these to around $1200.

+1 on CEC very good liquid sounding transports, not sure your budget but there is a nice looking unit in the listings now no affiliation:

thanks for all the replies...not sure of budget, but unfortunately it is less than the CEC...

I will make the same suggestion here as I made on the other thread.  Ditch the transport.  Load your cds to a Bluesound Vault 2 and feed that to your Exogal dac.  You can run the analog and digital outs at the same time.  That way you can easily compare the sound of the dac in the Bluesound versus the sound of your Exogal.

Now you have all your cds right at hand from your iPhone or iPad.

How long does it take the Bluesound to load a CD?
