Schiit CD Transport on the way soon.

And here is news as of yesterday (which I posted to another thread on this topic already):
As an update to this, my NAD transport died. I hope(d) to replace it with the long-rumored Schiit CD. So, I wrote to Schiit asking if:
1) The company is actually building this unit and,
2) Approximately when it would be released and,
3) Tom E. replied,

"Hello Keith,

Thank you for your interest. I apologize, however we are unable to discuss new products and/or upgrades/updates before release. I am sorry I couldn't be more helpful."

It's unclear to me why much more specific information was posted by Mike Moffat in April and now the company won't comment. I'm really not sure if Schiit has abandoned the CD idea or if it's had some development or performance issues. Any updates will be sincerely appreciated!

I bought a Marantz HD CD-1 as my backup transport/player. It's quite nice and ~ $500

   I was going to recommend the TEAC PD-H600 but noticed it's going for over $900 used and when new, sold for $999.
   If you could source one of those from someone who doesn't know any better, you'll get a great, half width sized CDP that's built like a tank, with trickle down from Esoteric. 
 
All the best,
Nonoise

I'll speak for myself but I think a lot of us are jonesing for the unison usb connection into our schiit dacs.

Nonoise,
It seems the TEAC PD-H600 has been discontinued with doesn't auger well for company support, if needed.

I fear the Schiit CD may have vanished into the ether as it's been rumored to exist for a long time but yet it never appears. Supposedly, it was in beta testing a few months ago so, if that's true, maybe there were problems.

Ambiguity by the company contributes to idle speculation like I'm engaging in at the moment.

Thanks for the TEAC PD-H600 suggestion, though!
Keith
