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?

Jason of NuPrime said the laser and transport assembly are Sony designs.

Unless model no. of the laser is reveled, to see if it's easily available for replacement. 
I wouldn't recommend it or the Jay to anyone, because you could be buying a future lemon.

A bunch of us got together and compared the NuPrime Transport to an old Rega Apollo. For overall musicality, the Rega was an easy winner. The Nu had a slightly more detailed sound but for listening pleasure, the Rega was hands down better in that department. The NuPrime ws sent back and the person purchased an old Sim Audio Moon CDP for now.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Happy Listening.
