Looking for my "last" CD transport

Hello everyone,

as I am unhappy with my CD transport which is connected to my Linnenberg Satie DAC, I am looking for my "final" CD transport to replace it.

There is a limited market for new ones but I am also interested to get a vintage one if it makes sense.

Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks for your help,
BR

Yes I have realized that vintage transports might not be a good idea as parts are limited and repairs can get costly.
Thanks for bringing that up.

The AcousticPlan DriveMaster looks really cool - reminds me a bit on old the 47 Lab CD player

Rumor has it that Schiit is working on one, due soon.  Could be just the ticket.

My long term audio dealer will not buy used CD players due to the uncertain life of the laser.

I have used a Theta Compli DVD/CD transport for years. I bought it used for about $800. Think it originally sold for $5K. I would say it is comparable to a $20K one today. It does only play Redbook and no SACD.
