Ahem, I know what you mean but I can't help myself: The transport

My other and more significant comment: this had already turned
into a food fight. I should have known better than to ask for

Lucky you didn't ask on an audiophile group :-)

You've had good advice. Some of us think any competent unit will do.
One person thinks you'll benefit from paying a moderate amount more.
No-one has encouraged you to pay silly money for an audiophile unit,
or suggested mortgaging your house to buy magic cables. What did you
