Advice on CD transport

I agree with the few who recommended the Audiolab 6000CDT. I have one and love it!

Before buying, I’ve listened to Cambridge Audio CXC, Cyrus, CEC and a few other players/CDT (can’t remember the brands) The Audiolab came out top for it’s price. It has more dynamics, clearer and more bite in the music (same amp, same DAC and same speakers).
The next better transport upwards is the Cyrus XT signature transport, anything in between are not as good as the Audiolab. If you can stretch the dollar, Cyrus is a better transport in terms of sound quality and details. But I’m not sure about it’s reliability and durability though.

Audiolab 6000CDT is really best value for money.
Happy shopping! :-)

Will the Cyrus read 80+ minute CDs such as the many made by Decca classical CDs?   A review said  if your platters are not in top condition, or formatted to the precise Red Book CD spec, it may struggle to read them.

I have owned the Theta, tried out the Cambridge and now own the Cyrus CD t transport. The Cambridge has accessibility problems.  Can’t go directly to the track you want.  It was noisy with my Gumby and didn’t sound nearly as good as the Cyrus.  I know there have been complaints about Cyrus reliability, but I’ve had mine for three years with extensive use and no problems,

Maybe slightly off topic. Is there a really good transport (excluding PSA), that will read CD and SACD discs that I can send the data to a DSD capable DAC via USB or Coax?
