CD Transport


I’m looking for a cd transport (my DAC is the Bricasti M1 S2). I’m considering this 3 options; Audiolab 9000CDT, Primare DD35 and Teac 701T.

Your opinions, please.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Since you believe that CD transports sound different nothing I say will convince you otherwise. Therefore buy the least expensive of the three.

There is a detailed write-up about the TEAC on this A'Gon discussion thread.

I'm also interested in the TEAC 701T, but I haven't auditioned it because it's my understanding that it's not in inventory. Have you found a dealer with one in stock?

Schiit introduced one as well.   They claim it is not a re-boxed computer DVD drive suggesting some others are. 

I  put everything in FLAC as I ran out of shelf space for disks. Easier. So my PC DVD is my drive.  No issues with stability, skips, re-reads, clocking or even magic.  The OS and data transport layer take care of that. 

 

Did you know that Bricasti just released the M19 SACD transport that will work with your M1 S2? it is not inexpensive at $10K list but will match aesthetically and supports SACD and CD. Just thought I would share since this is pretty new news.

I have not heard the unit yet. Just am aware that it has been announced.  BTW, the reason I know is that I am a Bricasti dealer
