High quality transports


I have narrowed my choices of transports down to

1) dCS Verdi

2) Levinson 31.5

3) Wadia 270

4) Sony SACD-1

Can I get some information from users or former users of these transports on if you are happy with them? Any other details about these transports is welcome.

I have a Reimyo DAP-777 DAC. LOVE IT. Cable right now is a Cardas but this I will play with. I want to buy what I can use as a reference piece because I love the DAC so much.
I'd go with the Levinson 31.5, or even the 37, then the Wadia (not sure about company stabilty). The dCS I have heard can be flakey, and interacts best with it's own processor. The Sony is not in the same league as the rest of these.
Why didn't Mark Levinson make a new transport since the 31.5 one was so ledgendary? It almost seems they are making lower class of products these days.
They all have non-optimal S/PDIF outputs, by design. Read this for an explanation:
