Schiit CD Transport on the way soon.

Thought this great news deserved it's own thread. As it's long awaited.
I was sent this link from Alexander of Schiit. They are under staffed at the moment he said with illness.
Schitt’s design team Dave and Ivana talk about a transport somewhere here on a live stream video a couple of weeks ago. https://fb.watch/1w1NgZQhxn/

To show interest, kick them along a little if your waiting for it, send them an email info@schiit.com to ask "how’s it going".
If you get get some info please post it up here, as I’m also waiting with bated breath for one to be released

Cheers George

Anyone heard anything about the RRP for it yet? Hope they keep it under $1k

On another site it’s rumoured to have this transport laser/mech, if so looks like it could output SACD (dsd)

The SANYO SF-HD850 laser looks to be a top model for Sanyo lasers.

This CD player uses it https://6moons.com/audioreview_articles/goldnote9/2/ in the article they said the same transport laser/mech is also used in the $20K DCS Rossini transport!!!!!!!!!
Stereophile: DCS Rossini
The front-loading CD mechanism is the Stream Unlimited JPL-2800 SilverStrike.

Mentioned the price to be around $1200 in the video. Was hoping it would be under 1k... Guess that's a serious transport mech..
Should I buy Sol or transport first? I don't want the Sol to go away.. is it a permanent fixture of Schiit's lineup?

It's designed manufactured by Schiit California, which is part owned by Mike Moffat, if he had anything to do with it, which is very likely. He was the brain trust behind everything good that came from Theta Digital back in the day they ruled the digital domain.

Hope it sounds as good as the new Hegel Mohican CD transport, which in an a/b  Darko prefers by a lot over the $3K Mytec Brooklyn Bridge streamer.

I certainly hope it sounds better than the $5000 Hegel with its "agricultural sounding" disc tray and average AKM 4490 chip, especially since I’ll be plugging it into Schiit’s bifrost multibit.
I’m sure there’s a reason the Hegel costs 5 grand but I can’t be bothered to find it. $1200 seems awful fair to me now.
