Advice on CD transport

Here’s the situation:

Am purchasing two channel integrated amp with built in DAC shortly (likely Hegel H390. Love the DAC section).  Big CD enthusiast and I’m looking for a great transport under the $1k range (used is more than acceptable).  My issue is buying a standalone transport is too rich for my blood so looking for a CD player with awesome transport. I hate paying for the DAC in it I won’t be using but such is being audio poor. 
I’ve always liked the Rega line but am wondering what anyone has found/used.  If you’ve got any helpful input without getting into DIY, please feel free to chime in.

The Audiolab 6000cdt has worked flawless for me paired with the Neko Audio dac.

I have been happy with my Cambridge CXC into an Audio Note 4.1 DAC. I believe Cambridge occasionally offers refurbished CXCs on EBay, with factory warranty, for near half price. Quality transport at a great price.

The Audiolab 6000CDT worked great for me too. Paired with the PS Audio Stellar Strata.

I have several Marantz players which work well as a CD transport.

I recently picked up a used Rega Apollo R and a Woo Audio WTP-1.

The Woo Audio is my first choice as it is a bit more definition than the Marantz
The Rega comes in last due to it being a bit light in the bass

You can get the Rega or the Woo used for around 600
