Theta Data II good transport?


I have the opportunity to get a good deal on a theta data II, but I have never heard one. Is this a good transport and what are it's sonic characteristics? Is it known for anything in particular or is it a pretty neutral transport?
Thanks,

Ok so maybe I have already answered my own question. I searched through all the old threads and found out that the transport is no longer made, there are reliablity issues, but the sound is good when it is running. No thanks I would rather have a unit that is more reliable.
What about a used Wadia Transport and DAC or a new all in one such as the Audiomeca Keops or Audio Aero' new lower end model?
Thanks,
It has a great and detailed sound but to get it serviced is a pain and $$$. It takes a long time to find a first track on CD but if you're patient you won't pay attention to that.
It's heavy and operates with minimal errors(jitter) and doesn't need extra-tweaking. You might get dissapointed on the bad recorded CDs since they will sound worse.
you hit it on the head w/reliability issues and arm and leg cost for repair. i own one with the well known door open/close issue...I got mine with that glitch for $250 though.....on the positive side, it has increased my hand/eye coordination skills, and hand speed, while trying to drop in a cd before the drawer closes.
