How do I connect a separate CD transport

I currently have a ARC CD-3MKII in which the transport has gone out.
My question is, can I use another CD player as a transport with the Dac of the ARC player?

If I am not mistaken it uses a Philips CDM Pro2, the same transport that a lot of CD juke boxes used. Replacements are still available on the internet. It is an excellent sounding transport. My Ref CD7 uses a version of the CDM Pro2.

They told me it could be done but they weren't enthusiastic about it. My impression was they were busy and just not interested in devoting the time it would take. As for changing out the transport, if you can find one it a piece of cake.

ARC can repair/replace the transport-no problem. How long have you owned the CD3 Mk II? When did you purchase the ARC spinner? Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
