Best USED Transport for under 2,000


I have an EAD Signature 8 processor running a Levinson 336, which is driving B&W Nautilus 802s. I want to use the EAD's dacs. I'm not finding many transport (as opposed to CDP) reviews other than for the most expensive units. I'd like opinions on units that are 2-4 years old which now sell used for $1,000 to $2,000. Alternatively, I'm considering a Sony XA777ES as a transport for redbook since I could use it with the EAD's bypass mode for SACD listening. You can get the XA777ES for $2,000 (or less), so I don't think that used redbook-only transports over $2,000 make any sense for me. Thanks in advance for your input.

I agree with the two above in your range - the Pioneer S95 is also a great transport which can be gotten on this site for 995(new) even though discontinued. I owned a 777ES - didn't like anything about it.
