CD Transports: anything in between?

The Jay's CDT Mk2 looks fantastic. Still, I am just not able to hit a $2,500 price point. On the other end, I see CEC TL5s for just over $1,050 but that is a 100 volt deal. So I'd need the step down transformer.

Is there something I should consider in between those two?

Thanks for the suggestions. We have a winner. I will order the Nu Prime CDT9 with that LPS- 212 this weekend (4/17/22).

Now I get to find an interconnect between the Nu Prime and a Doge 7 Mk2 DAC (RCA version). So XLR or SPDIF cable needed. One possibility is the KLEI Qflow3 but I am not sure about spending another $479 for the darn interconnect...

OP,

I am overjoyed with my CDT6000. On a recommendation, I bought Pangea Coax Premier XL. which is outstanding value. They probably have cables with connections you need. Check Audio Advisor

Well I'll be. I ordered, paid for, and expected a delivery confirmation for a Nu Prime CDT9  and the 212 power supply from The Cable Company. I just learned from 'sales' and then 'procurement' that they may or may not actually have access to a unit they showed as available on Saturday. I nixed the order because "homey don't play that game". Too many other fine transports that are 'really' available from places that aren't going to jack me around. Damn glad I didn't plan on getting anything else there.
