It looks like you are pretty much into NOS territory with your current setup. Do you want to stick with this or move to higher resolutions with computer audio? Generally speaking, if you're staying with NOS and want a new transport, it may be wise to stick with the same mfr. Why not just get a new 47 labs transport (since I don't really know what "shaky" means). The other alternative NOS digital front end system (Transport + Dac) is Audio Note (UK) at a high cost to get the same quality (but different sound).

Thanks; for now, I want to stick with my NOS gear, and just test the waters by adding a digital source that is not a CD player , but offers at least equally high sound quality .
The Shigaraki transport is fine, just had to do a few repairs - sticky buttons, faulty remote sensor, cleaning and such .
You may want to consider a piece of pro gear using Ethernet from one of your computers.

There will be features that you do not need, and may be a little tricky to setup. But from what I have been reading seems a solid way to get high quality SPDIF from a computer source, even at a considerable distance.
Thanks, looks like another good way to approach this !
You could also upgrade your transport within the 47 labs line.
Well, the Shigaraki is still running, and a Flatfish would be out of my range .
Right now I'm looking for a simple, affordable alternative to a CD player, or something I can use alongside it, without loosing sound quality .
