HI Peter, I would try a transport for around $1000 with a DAC for the remainder. For that money you can buy many dacs, and audiotion. Here are some examples: 1. Ack! Dac 2. Scott Nixon Tubedac+ 3. Museatex bitstream 4. Museatex bidat 5. Benchmark dac-1 6. ECD1 by electrocompaniet 7. Classe dac-1 (used) 8. Blue note Ag dac 9. Muse dacs
And many many more. I suspect all of these would sound better than a standalone CD player, as long as they had jitter reduction (many of these dacs do already, for others you can buy a jitter reducer ). hope this helps thanx -akhilesh
