While you're perusing the information on transports and CDPs, take some time to visit iFI pages and look at the SPDIF Filter 2. First of all, it offers galvanic isolation between your CDP and DAC. Next, it reclocks your information before it gets to the DAC. It handles information up to 24/192. The unit, very small, comes with a power supply that iFi says is quieter than battery power. Amazon offers a thirty day trial period with purchase. If you like what it does, you would save some serious cash.
I use one with my twenty year old Rotel RCD-1072 and find it's a worthwhile tweak priced around $200.

Thanks. More audio fun.
Unfortunately, it's not offered on the iFI website. Is it no longer made? Both Crutchfield and Audio Advisor show it as out of stock or on backorder. Crutchfield does offer it as Scratch and Dent for $179.
By the way, does it plug directly into the DAC?

  The spdif filter is small, about the size of two cigarettes laying side by side. It's light enough to plug into a DAC's rca input jack and not fall off. Amazon shows that Audio Advice has six in stock tonight if you want to try ordering through Amazon or you can skip the middle man and go straight to Audio Advice.
