With the notable exception of a single post by John Swenson, that thread is hopeless. If someone wants to spend $10k on the ultimate transport then that is their choice - good luck to them. I'm sure they will enjoy their investment. Alternatively, use any modern DAC with very high jitter rejection and if you REALLY want to tinker, rip that ferrite bead out - but with a decent DAC it won't make a difference you can hear. ANY transport+DAC combo using S/PDIF is inherently flawed anyway. If you really want "as good as it gets", use the DAC clock to drive the transport. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
