Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret?

Recently the lens fell out of my heavily moded (Musical Concepts)  Pioneer PD 65 which I use as a transport, toslinked to my Audio Alchemy DPP/DAC. I glued it back in, but it won't play.  I  may have inserted it upside down, alas, there was no telling which way was up even wth my magnifying glass

so I am in search of a transport. The NuPrime CDT 9 Pro (MSRP $795) caught my eye, but I cannot find a review

Anybody know anything?

If the laser is the same it's the Philips SAA7824HL laser
That is not a laser, it's a laser controller chip.

Yes, that was already identified by @celander back on page 1.  I've now identified the tray and clamper.  So far everything is Philips-sourced.

The Philips laser servo controller chip is likely compatible with a lot of laser mechanisms. No proof that the Sanyo mechanism is in the CDT-8 Pro.
