Schiit Urd CD Transport vs Marantz CD6007 Player

Why does a cd transport cost more than a cd player?

They shouldn’t, I’m using on my second system a used (av cost $400) Teac VRDS-7 player, "used as a transport". It took 1min to disconnect all the dac stages from it. Which basically left it as a VRDS-T1 (av cost ($800), but with far better over size and regulated power supply.
So the VRDS-7 as a modded transport, is now a "better" and cheaper than the more expensive to buy used VRDS-T1.

Considering the transport is not available yet nor has a photo been released nobody can say what the difference will be.

@jaudio1, you might just have something there........

I have the Cambridge Audio dedicated CD transport. It is wonderful but what I hear is the DAC that I plug into it. Very happy so far. Under 500 dollars US and clean sounding. I like Schiit gear very much and own some. I imagine the transport they develop will be great. Can't wait to hear what you all say about it. 

Folks, Schiit will be showing off their Urd this thursday at their schiitrmeet. Looks like they will be streaming on youtube.
