CD Transport Reccomendation


Looking for  CD transport for one of my two channel systems.  I have an SMSL P200 in one of my systems that is really a fine player.  I ordered another one that was allegedly delivered by DHL but was not.  Ugh....Trying to avoid shipping from China again.  I have a Jay's cd transport that is a nice piece of kit but I don't want to spend enough to get another one.  I am currently using an 800 buck Project front loader that is not bad. Looking for reliable transport for high end disc spinning in a system that has no streaming capabilities.  Price cap new is under 2K.  Thanks.

P200? Do you have the PL200 or PL200T? If you like it, you could order from Amazon—it will be handled and shipped by Amazon with 3-4 days guaranteed delivery.

PL200T + G1 connected to a DAC via I²S would be an ideal setup.

The Cambridge transport is a good value. They used to sell them open box on eBay for $400 with warranty, but I noticed they aren’t on there anymore. Hopefully it’s not permanent but nothing would surprise me anymore.

I’m using a Rotel 1572mkii and I think it sounds very good using its internal dac. But you could use it as a transport as well.
