What is the best CDP to be used as a Transport?

Abex, a tech guy who I trust told me recently after he had serviced my CD80 that in fact this unit is the same as a Revox pro unit and that is why it is built like a tank.My experience with the CD80 and the EAD really leaves me with little desire to upgrade to SACD. I recently heard a dcs Elgar and while it is very nice it didn't exactly kill my EAD/80 combo. In fact IMHO the difference was small. The Elgar was a little more dynamic and had a little more depth but the 80/EAD was equal in Bass and the extension in the top end went slightly to the older combo.

I also have a CD 80 and am using it now with an EAD 7000 Mk 111. IMHO this makes a pretty tough to beat combo. I am going to interested also in the replies to this thread.Have you tried any other transports?

Abex, if you can try a EAD 7000 Mk 3 or 9000, you might want to keep your cd80. They have a great interface and are pretty reliable. Just a thought.
