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

Budburma,

I will be interested to hear how the Music vault with an AES/EBU output works out. I sue a Bryston BDP-1 digital transport to a new PS Audio Direct Stream DAC, using a Stealth Sextet AES/EBU digicable, which produces awe-inspiring sound, but I do like to go back to the CEC every now and then. Like taking a warm bath.

They are a good option to have even if you mainly use computer audio. A good transport, e.g., CEC TL-1X, with a good digital cable, will give a warmer, more natural and realistic sound to the music, as opposed to the cold sterile sound produced by much computer audio, especially with USB connections. One man's opinion.
