CD Transports: anything in between?

The Jay's CDT Mk2 looks fantastic. Still, I am just not able to hit a $2,500 price point. On the other end, I see CEC TL5s for just over $1,050 but that is a 100 volt deal. So I'd need the step down transformer.

Is there something I should consider in between those two?

Accessories4less.com has refurbed Yamaha CD-S2100’s for $1499 (w/ a 3 year warranty). That’s a stupid good price.

Cambridge Audio and Project and Audiolab all have well regarded transports for less than a grand

I love my REGA Apollo player. Excellent value imo!

Not players, thanks. I intend to choose a stand alone DAC. If I went under $1k it would be the Audiolab 6000CDT. The question was 'between' the CEC and Jay's. Maybe that is a price point that manufacturers are no longer supporting... Hmmm.
