Looks Like the TEAC has the capability to win favour, the reports certainly are not to askew from the reports I copied/pasted about the VRDS 701.
I look forward, along with others, to the further descriptions to come of it being experienced in use.
Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing
Hi everyone! A couple of years ago I purchased my endgame CD transport- a Pro-Ject CD Box RS2T. Loved almost everything about the unit--highly resolving presentation, dead quiet background, balanced placement of instruments in a believable 3 dimensional soundstage, and the synergy it had with my components. In fact I loved the transport so much I had two of them because Pro-Ject quality control and customer service is the pits. After almost a year of hassles, I'm swearing of Pro-Ject.
I'm in the market for a replacement CD transport that has the same qualities of the Pro-Ject minus the quality issues and customer service.
PS Audio, Jay's Audio, CEC, Audio Research (which are CD/DAC units) come up in my search. What are your thoughts? With all the bells and whistles the Pro-Ject was around $3300, so that gives you an idea of my budget, though I could go higher.
Thanks in advance!

David you have very good ears and music taste. Additionally you’ve had excellent CD transports in your home audio system for reference. Your listening impressions of the TEAC will be enlightening. Charles

@wharfy I feel it better renders high frequency detail and transients. More immediate start and stop while still preserving space in the sound stage. I don't feel it's subtle either. Still good alone, but I wanted the clock from the get go.
