Good transport for under 1K?

I went ahead and got a good DAC (HOLO Spring), and I wanted to pair it with a good cd transport for my redbook collection.   There are so few on the market nowadays.  I only know of the Cambridge CXC.  I prefer new gear, so if anyone can suggest one I’d be very grateful.

Any old transport including your existing one will do if it's followed by a Synchro-Mesh reclocker and a Standard BNC cable.  7 psec of jitter and upsamples to 24/96.  $974.  You will not find this in ANY transport.  All that matters in a transport is the signal quality and jitter.
