Please recommend a CDP in the $400-600 range which makes a good transport...

Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

for a Bel Canto DAC2. I know several of you get great results by using a DVD player, but this is not an option for me because this system is audio only (TV/video purposefully and expressly banished) and connection to a TV/monitor is required in order to access program play, random play, and "features" other than simple playback in all DVD machines I have seen (not to mention that most of the commonly available DVD players I have seen are cheap, plasticky, tinny, and crappily built overall, which seems markedly out of place in the context of a nice audio system). I would appreciate any feedback on this matter that any inmate can provide, and thanks in advance for taking the time to respond. I am considering Cambridge 540C, Marantz CD-5001, NAD C-542, Music Hall 25.2, Onix CD (can't remember the model, but similar to the Music Hall machine), and perhaps one of the Denon or Marantz "professional" models (though I don't need pitch control or other "DJ" features).
Best Regards and Happy New Year to ALL!

I've found the Denon CDP transports to be very useful on their better than basic models. - ppopp 08:31:35 12/28/06 (0)
