If you are in the market for a good transport, DAC and cable combo, I would like to suggest to get those equipments.
1. A good Poineer CD palyer as transport.
2. An Art D/O DAC if you can find it in China(see picture). It is priced for USD$120 noly as new. But it is a very good unit. I had stock unit in my system for a while. I would say it is worth every penny you pay for if you can do some modifications.(see http://www.interog.com/~cfraser/DIO.htm
3. Cardas lighting digital cable(USD$125 used) or Illuminati D-60(USD$125 used). Cardas is a bit more revealing than D-60. D-60 is a very smooth cable without any digital harshness.
I think you will be very happy with this combo. Thanks for reading this message.
