Old thread, however Cambridge Audio make a budget ($500) transport that I understand is somewhat discounted. If looking for a transport I would consider one.
A sensible CD transport?
After auditioning the Rega DAC and comparing it the W4S DAC2 I ordered the Rega for my system. My poor little transport is an Oppo DV-981HD and I know something better should probably be used.
I already have a Mac Mini on the way. So what's a smart buy on a transport for CD's? I've heard that the Rega Apollo is a fine choice, but the top loading is an issue for my setup.
Ideas on a CD transport comparable to the Apollo? Thanks.
