CD Transports a relic or a good option? Aune/AN

Good Morning...
I am going pretty full on computer, but need a transport to play cd's from time time. Both will be used with the AMR DP777 DAC. I was looking at a
Aune Cyclone or
Audio Note CDT1
I could use some help....the Aune is top loading and a floating transport which I prefer while the Audio Note has a better pedigree.
Thanks,
Art

Why not just get an AMR CD-77? I plan on buying a reference CD player in
the next 2-3 months. I am also planning on adding a server transport next
year, and plan to use my cdp as dac for the forseeable future. Servers by
and large are not set up for casual playback of cds. And if friends come
over for a get together, it's good to have a cd player to spin discs, if only for
old times sake. My view may change at some point, but that is too far off to
care.

Hard luck on the loss of your old CD-77.1 Bud. Yeah i've heard that is a musical sounding player. The EAR Acute III is similarly well regarded as a musical sounding valve spinner. I was seriously considering buying one as my temporary player at one stage, but ended up being offered a 6 month old Aesthetix Romulus instead. Sounds like you've got a plan to achieve good sound notwithstanding.
