Transport Recommendations

Check the post on the Rotel.  It can only function as a CD player or standalone DAC.  Not just as a transport.

2.1 LUMIN U1 mini

3.2 Soundaware D300REF Transport

✅ 3.2 Project CD Box RS2 T

I’d be all over that preowned Jay’s Audio unit if I were in need.  

I really like my Audiolab 6000CDT transport and it’s quite inexpensive. I definitely recommend it.

+1 for the Audiolab 6000CDT transport.  At around $500 it is a great machine.  I've owned it and put it up against a few very expensive players.  It made me wonder why I was spending so much more.  It has one job to do and it does it well.  Punches above it's weight.  IMHO
