CD players that make for a great transport

adg101- I use a Bryston BDA-1 with Audiophilleo 2 w/Purepower for computer playback and Adcom DV-137 for CD and DVD spinning.

Adg101, I believe that the Cambridge CXC would likely be a good choice for someone with a quality DAC and with the stated budget

To all, I recognize that this thread is somewhat redundant with a previous one posted by Cooper52. With my thread I was trying to focus toward cd only players that others have experience with using as transports with external DAC. It seems that a single speed (cd only) transport and clock might prove better than multi function spinners. I would like to hear more from others on this.  

As a followup, to avoid the redundancy I wish to defer to Cooper52s' thread. Thanks all for your responses. 

If were in my budget I would audition a Neo 260 transport version. I read the review in TAS and like the build quality of those Simaudio products i have seen and listened to. 

As I stated above I am currently using a Arcam DV-137. Prior to Blueray, this was marketed as a universal player with a retail price of $2000.  I purchased mine new from a dealer about 4 years ago for $500 as the addition of Blueray greatly diminished the value of DVD players.  It has served me well for CD playback via my DAC, and DVD viewing.  If I were to accomplish a significant upgrade in CD playback, I believe it would require a much greater budget, likely to be spent on a CD player/CD transport only player (such as the Neo 260).

What drove my initial post was that I thought it might be nice to develop a list of CD players that can be recommended to those who still compile and listen to CDs and, in addition are interested in upgrading to a separate DAC for redbook or hirez file playback. I have friends, and believe there are many in this AG community, who fit this description and would benefit. 

Thanks to all who have contributed! Comments regarding home service applicability (gear driven vs. belt, etc.), availability of parts are extremely helpful.
