CD player as a transport



      If you could choose a CD player to use as a transport, which would you choose, and why would you choose it. Used is fine, under $350 is my budget
       My Hint6 has a nice dac onboard

Could you suggest a player that uses a philips laser
Look for Philips (cdm/vam/vau) here, also Sony (kss) right hand column, but make sure they are still available on line (ebay) for under $100, and in the left column you get the make and model no. of player

Cambridge now selling refurbished CXC ll transports at your price if you don’t need a cdp 
I would try to find a REGA Planet or Jupiter as these are top loading machines with less parts that break over time. One of the best most rugged CD players I ever owned was a Phillips 960 All metal sliding drawer with copper screws. Also, California Audio Labs made rugged players as well. Hard to find CD players not made completely out of plastic. Best CD player BAR none for transport is the Esoteric NEO VRDS...breathtaking.
