+1 on  my Jay's CD2 mkIII  stellar build quality and sound .Totally the best transport I have  ever owned. Never a hiccup in two years.

@chuckie I am about to put in an order for a Jay's CD2 MKIII. Glad to see your response. 

I gave my friend this OPPO bdp-83

he used it for years and years as a transport

always verify they can find the SACd layer, that means the laser is not too weak.

The best I have tried with all listed and some more. PS Audio Wave SACD transport ( newest) reads CD loads to file and plays off file. That eliminates jitter and the like. Sounds very close or better or as good as best streamer/server. 

I also have the AudioLab 6000CDT and when they came out with the AudioLab 9000CDT with the tray, I was disappointed it did not have the I2S connection or I would have upgraded to that transport.
