Simaudio vs PS Perfect Wave...

Looking for a balanced out CD transport. My preference is toward something musical vs extremely detailed, mostly to help with a lively listening environment. My budget has me considering the Simaudio Neo 260D or the PS Perfect Wave Transport. My current cdp for years has been an Arcam fmj CD23. Other equipment is a Luxman 590ax, Harbeth HL5's, and I am leaning heavily toward pairing the transport with a Schiit yggy. I desire to stay with a standalone cdp or transport DAC combo, which seems to be preferred in my budget. Appreciative any input from others experience with these components or in general. My locale is horrible for audio shops.

TIA

Thank You- mlo97


have you considered a Luxman cd/sacd player? If so, have you auditioned any of the brand's spinners?

Happy Listening!

Certainly, though I have never heard a Luxman. My budget would have me looking at used for sure. The couple times I have seen one listed, they did not hang around long. Unfortunately, the brand has no physical presence in my area.

Bel Canto has a dedicated CD transport that is very good, 
msrp =1500, with a balanced out, but limited output of 16/44 Redbook.
