transport for Chord DAC64

Fatcataudio...

...I know that transports can make a huge difference. But given that the Chord has a 4-MB buffer and is reported to be very transport-insensitive because of this, it makes sense to rely on people who have heard the effect from different transports on this special DAC.

AFAIK, 'CD drive' in CDP is one of the major jitter generators, since almost none of them is able to read 100% data 'on the fly', the really good reading is possible with approach of several attempts and then comparison (CRC, whatever). Reclocking DAC would 'approximate' the lost information, but it's not as good as a better transport that would loose less.

Fatcataudio, you're right on the money about the CEC transport, I just got a mint (rare black) TL-2X and could not be happier, except a good turntable of course !
