Goodbye Paganini Transport?
I never thought I would even consider this but I can't think of a good reason to keep my CD transport. I download all my music these days. My whole collection is on a hard drive. So the proposal is this: Trade the transport permanently and use the funds to upgrade the DAC and clock to Vivaldi. Has anyone else out there dumped their transport and committed to all digital?

Like Jerome, I don't have a transport either. Haven't used one in years. I do however sometimes miss being able to pop in a CD and get it playing quickly without having to get everything up and running.

I have done this as I've gone all digital. For an alternative I bought the OPPO 95 as my multi-player, no regrets. :thumbsup:

I know of someone who has a 2 box dCS Puccini and is headed in the direction you mention -- a 2 box Vivaldi (DAC & Clock). Wheels are in motion & quite a few Audiophiles have these thoughts of skipping the expensive transport.

If you sell (and not replace) your transport in the hopes of upgrading (selling and replacing) your clock and DAC, you probably will be at a monetary loss.
If you want to eliminate the transport and upgrade the clock and DAC, you will probably do better selling the whole stack and upgrading and purchasing only the components you want since your buyer will more than likely want an entire stack. At least that's how I see it. By the way, I still like CDs. I would keep the transport. |
