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.

On Amazon search PL200T, then search all the offerings for one that has short shipping date. Mine is connected to S Booster Mk II from Upscale Audio

@OP - The Teac VRDS 701-T will fit your bill very nicely.

I picked up the 701t about a year and a half ago.   It's a great machine,  unfortunately it's gone up 4 or 5 hundred bucks since launch.  Still a great machine at the price

I bought a Cambridge Audio CXC about a year ago and it is fantastic.  Punches way above its price point.

+1 for SMSL PL200T.  For around 2k I acquired the SMSL and a used Denafrips Venus II 12th and connected with I2S.  Really sweet.  I do find that the PL200T is a little sensitive to scratches on my very old(er) CDs.  Bought SMAL on Amazon...
