+1 on mesch's response, no need to get a cd player. I also have the Cambridge, use it in my 2nd system and it is competent for the money. The other 3 have pretty good reviews as well.
Advice on CD transport
Here’s the situation:
Am purchasing two channel integrated amp with built in DAC shortly (likely Hegel H390. Love the DAC section). Big CD enthusiast and I’m looking for a great transport under the $1k range (used is more than acceptable). My issue is buying a standalone transport is too rich for my blood so looking for a CD player with awesome transport. I hate paying for the DAC in it I won’t be using but such is being audio poor.
I’ve always liked the Rega line but am wondering what anyone has found/used. If you’ve got any helpful input without getting into DIY, please feel free to chime in.

@ cjlundberg mesch At your price range there is the Cambridge CXC I agree, best bag for $$ is the Cambridge Audio CXC. https://www.tnt-audio.com/sorgenti/cambridge_cxc_e.html https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/row/en/products/cx/cxc Denafrips Avatar would be a bang for buck contender, if they left it at the original launch pricing. Rumor has it that Schitt is working on a transport.This will be the one to wait for, for best bang for buck pricing, Mike Moffat being the head designer for Theta Audio Digital all those years.
