Buying a very expensive CD transport in 2009, knowing that any 400$ computer will sound at least as good is a strange idea.
I agree with Trendy. My uncle sold a Kalista not too long ago. It was one of the best transports he ever owned even trumping his CEC TLO MK II BUT his PS Audio P.W.T./P.W.D. beat both of them. He is now considering going the mac imac as music server route. I have already sold my transports and gone strait to music files, in most cases, it simply sounds better than any transport I have ever used/owned, in some cases the transport equals the music server. I would never drop big dollars on a transport as the writing is on the wall, but to each his own :)
