    I'd kind of agree with that Martin

    My current transport and dac are about the same cost and I find they match really well

    When I've compared various Cd players as transports I've always been surprised how much of the relative character of the cd players come through when used as transports, when I expected most of the character to be the result of the dac and output stage employed. I put much of this down to isolation, damping and feet etc, as sticking sorbothane underneath did reduce the differences quite a bit. So my take was to experiment with isolation with what I've got before splashing out on a new one.

    Bits is bits. Buy the best dac you can and ignore the transport side of things.

    I have the ATC SCA2 preamp and ATC50ASL speakers in a treated room so differences would be easily heard.
