Good transport for under 1K?

PS the Woo is slightly above your target price

Two of my grandchildren have extensive collections of Redbook classical CDs. They both use use the Cambridge, with a separate DAC, and both have been very pleased with the transport.  

I used one before acquiring a BCD-3 spinner. No problems with the  CXC transport, but wanted an integral spinner-DAC unit. 

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.
