in search of CD transport that'll accept external clock

65.13.4.150

I want to build my own DSP+DAC portion of the signal chain, and need to start with a transport that'll lock to an external clock. I suppose I can buy something from Wadia, but they don't necessarily provide technical details for me hooking up non-Wadia gear to their transports.

I can very well do the hardware and software part: programming the DSP, assembling the board, etc.

I want to feed the digital audio into a DSP, likely Motorola's 56800 series (their DSP56F827 maybe?), run it through digital filters, and send it to six DACs: three per channel, one for each frequency band per channel. This then will go to six channels of power amps with three amps located at the base of each MG20.1 speakers that'll have each driver connected directly to an amp with no analog crossover.

If anyone knows of a ready-made board that'll do the DSP+DAC portion as well, with me supplying the software, then I would consider buying that too. I'll likely go with Crystal's latest CS4397.
