Good transport for under 1K?

The Woo transport looks pretty cool.  That may work.   Don't know much about the company though.  It looks like one of those boutique audio outfits.  I've also seen a few CEC transports on EBAY for sale from Japan.  Anyone have experience with these brands?

CEC is great, I still have my TL-51X which if you can find one should come in at under $1k. However, buying from Japan most likely means a 100V version and you would need a step down transformer to lower the voltage from the wall outlet. Not a bad thing necessarily, but one more piece to acquire.

Take a look at Cambridge Audio's CXU HD.  It is a universal (Redbook, SACD, Blu-Ray, DVD, etc., etc.) transport that also streams.  Mine is paired with a Chord DAC and sounds as good as any other transport that I have had (40 years from vinyl to streaming) or heard.  Love it!  Priced +/- $700.00.

I have a rotel rc 1590 preamp with built in DAC. So, I could use the Cambridge audio as a transport?  How would I connect the two for the best sound?

This is an excellent transport that I have hooked up to my DS Sr. via I2S. Also as it is a half size component takes up very little shelf room.
