Looking for a good Transport. Help.

I have the new ARC DAC 7 that i intended to use with an Ipod/Wadia dock combination but i have decided otherwise since there is very little HD music download albums/tracks available at this time. The selection/availability is abysmal at best.

There are about 85 for sale here and i would not know where to start.
I use to have a Classe transport along with an ARC DAC 2 many years ago until i made the jump into vinyl's.

Any recommendation much appreciated. Budget of about $2000.00 or less.
Thank You

Smoffatt,browsing thru:Audio Note,CEC,North Star.Do your homework and pick your poison.I might suggest an Oppo,for a pinch.I use it in a small system and consider it very acceptable-no prestige though.

I would consider a cec tc1 or tl2. Very analog sounding and reliable. They can also be serviced if needed.

Some of the older Sony and Denon DVD/CD players have a good rep as transports. They are big and heavy with multiple power supplies. Many feel that most major companies lost interest in CDs years ago and put their research in DVD , etc. I am using transports from the early 90s myself, not the best but quite good and don't feel like paying mega bucks.
