Yeah Jay - this is a bit of a problem because the better transports are no longer being made. Non-oversampling DACs don't just store data and buffer it - they require a more premium transport to get the best out of them.
I have a Cambridge Audio CXC transport - a cheap but good for the money unit. It's fine for my 0.1X DAC.
But if I go to a 4.1X DAC then I will want some sort of transport that uses the Philips Pro2LF - the mechanism alone runs $500 so they are typically found in transports over $5,000.
I am somewhat debating just keeping my DAC 0.1X and Line Magnetic 502CA DAC for computer audio and buying a one-box AN player. The new CD 5.1x single-box CD player is now out which means there may be a few second-hand 4.1x models on the market as people upgrade. I might have to look at the kits too - the prices are doable as in I could do it but it's not a need.
I have already gone above where I needed to go to be happy. I justify to myself that I don't smoke, I don't drink (other than the occasional cocktail at a party), I don't own a car, and Covid may kill me tomorrow. And if I wait until I have the money - I'll be a senior citizen and my hearing won't be good enough to appreciate the stuff anymore.
I am planning to get married - so maybe I need to buy this stuff before I say I do. :)
