CD Transport that has I2S hdmi output, cheaper the better.

Your best bet is to buy a pre-owned PS Audio Perfect Wave Transport.

This would be good, but way too $$$$ for me. I just need something cheap used that will spin cd’s and give a I2S output, that I can replace the laser in if needed.

Wyred4Sound had a DAC a couple of years ago that I was looking at for around 2K that I was looking at.  You haven’t defined your budget

I love my Jay's Audio CDT2 MK2. It has a hdmi i2S output. 

I unfortunately don't have a dac to go along with it though. 

If you could find one used, I imagine it would be a great price, as new is a a little over $2000

Thanks Lord but do you know the laser is hard and expensive to get? I don’t want this.
