Inexpensive CD Transport...

I'm in the market for a CD transport to work with my Schitt Bifrost and Primaluna integrated amp.  Based largely on information from this site, I'm looking at the Cambridge Audio CXC, Audiolab 6000CDT, and the new Marantz CD6007 (and, yes, I realize it has a DAC). Are there others I should be considering?  Which of these would you choose, and why?  Thanks for any advice - I'm truly stymied here!

Believe another member mentioned in a thread that Schitt is coming out with one.

I have the Cambridge in my 2nd system, it operates fine and sounds good for the money

Couple of considerations, the Emotiva ERC-4 using its AES outputs, the NuPrime CDT-8. As stated in another thread I wouldn't consider a transport if it didn't have AES due to what I perceive to be superior connection and digital transfer method. BTW the NuPrime also has I2S outputs which may or may not be beneficial to you and your existing DAC.

Hope this helps.

2nd the Schiit "when" it comes, should be a cracker knowing the designers, design background with Theta Digital when they were on top.
