    My preference would be a dedicated transport.

    There appears to be a Cambridge Audio Discmagic 1 transport on preloved now. Looks like it is in Warrington. I use one it has optical, spdif and aes/ebu. I’ve had one where the transformer hums but the one I have now is great.

    Thanks for the tip but I'm really looking for something a bit more recent.

    I would look for French transports, Micromega, or Piere Lurne not cheap but would be very good.

    The problem is that you get ripped off in France for Hifi equipment.
    As an example a brand new Cambridge CXC Transport will cost £299 at Richer Sounds - typical new price in France 549 Euros!!!

    The items I suggested are on the used market not new. I hate to say it but importation of goods and distribution has a cost, and it has ever been such. Americans moan about the cost of UK kit, UK people moan about the cost of American kit and so do others in other countries. A few companies do manage parity with pricing, but few do, generally with small brands and niche products its not easy to do.

    Unfortunately as a consequence of new products being so expensive the 2nd hand market is also inflated as sellers seek to recoup a reasonable return.
