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.

My extremely optimized audio network (Naim Uniti Core with Streaming Bridge Lumin U1 Mini plus Converter Weiss DAC 204, powered by Ferrum Hypsos Hybrid LPS

Nice and expensive equipment, but I think you could immediately do better by replacing the U1 Mini with its higher-end sibling, the U2 Mini (or better unit), and possibly upgrading the storage device inside the Naim Uniti Core. If the storage inside the NUC is a 3.5" HDD, replacing it with an SSD should yield noticeably better sound quality.

NAD just came out with a new disc spinner (Cd player) in the 1600 dollar price range.  The c 589.  The disc drawer mechanism is very well built and it sounds outstanding.
