Toploading CD transports recommendations

I am looking for a toploading transport, ideally not more than $1,000. Does such a thing exist? I am tired of failing CD drawers.

The main advantage of a top-loader is the jitter reduction because the disk does not vibrate while spinning. A good reclocker will reduce the jitter 100X more though. I would recommend any OPPO followed by a Synchro-Mesh and good BNC coax cable. Steve N. Empirical Audio

I paid $900 for it used. I never see them for sale. It is top loading, and continues to operate as designed. I also have an Oppo 105D, and it also works fine.

Maybe you can find one one used. I have used one for a few years.
