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

I hope it’s a minimalist design like the 47 Laboratory Flatfish CD transport

 Don’t think so, they’ve already said something about it being able to give out a few different output configurations, that’s why the delay probably, as I think it was either the usb or hdmi a while back that was giving troubles with certain dacs.
I haven’t listen to it all but the post above yours of mine has more info in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFt8u9stoKQ

 @georgehifi  I think it was the USB.  BTW, it is going to have USB-C out connector for USB.

Given all the uncertainties of the Schiit player (will it appear? when? cost? reliability?) I've pretty much decided to buy the Cambridge CXC V-2. It's been around for ~5-6 years, has a good reputation for sound quality and I haven't found any online complaints about reliability.

Any opinions on reliability and experience Cambridge customer service?

Yeah, I had one, it was good better than the other cheap UK slot loaded other one that some like here, even started a thread on it here for memory.
But an old Teac VRDS-7 that I gutted the dac out of, to make it a dedicated transport sounded much better. And on the scope had a far better squarer cleaner eye pattern.
