Looking for my "last" CD transport


Hello everyone,

as I am unhappy with my CD transport which is connected to my Linnenberg Satie DAC, I am looking for my "final" CD transport to replace it.

There is a limited market for new ones but I am also interested to get a vintage one if it makes sense.

Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks for your help,
BR

I would not buy a vintage transport as many times the laser assemblies are almost shot and are sometimes not replaceable. I don’t know why you would say there is a limited market for new ones. There are beautiful transports from Jay’s Audio, CEC, Moon, Pro-Ject. Esoteric and many others. I think the choice will depend largely on your budget and geographical location.  
As chayro mentioned, I would look into Jay’s Audio new CDT2 mk3. They also make CDP-2 with an exceptional internal Soekris dam1021 R2R DAC.

Good luck!
I agree with @chayro and suggest you avoid used transports. Repair of older units can be impossible because of parts unavailability or - when parts are available - can sometimes be quite expensive. Please don't ask me how I know that.
I would also recommend avoiding used transports.  The mechanical mechanisms in a few of the CD players I've owned have failed, one just weeks after the two year warranty expired, probably the part that is replaced most on CD players and transports.  I once had a five year old modest Yamaha CD player where the CD drive would not open and the repair shop was unable to locate a repair part, and if they had located one the cost on their parts sheet was prohibitive, so they recommended I ditch the idea of repairing it.
Just buy a new cheap DVD player and use its digital output jack into your DAC. Bits are bits - whether they come from a $100 DVD player or a $5000 boutique transport. I guarantee you will hear no difference!
