Another excellent choice for playing Redbook CDs would be a Naim CDi. I still have my late Dad's and it's a great sounding CD player which can be had for around a $1000US in nice condition. Naim no longer repairs them but I believe that there are aftermarket companies that do. Best of luck with your search for a CD player. 👍
A good cd transport for my Chord HugoTT2 DAC with Chord M-Scaler
I recently acquired a Luxman L-595A integrated amp and moved my trusty L-509u to my second system along with my Simaudio Moon 260d cd transport. I need a new cd transport (or player used as a transport) to go with my Chord Hugo TT2 DAC and Chord M-Scaler.
I was considering the PS Audio SACD transport, but most of my CDs are Red Book and I own a very small number of SACDs.
I love the build quality of Luxman products. Would it be crazy to use a Luxman D-03x CDP as a transport? It is about 2/3 of the price of the PS Audio SACD transport.
