CD Transport that has I2S hdmi output, cheaper the better.

Looking for one that doesn’t have unobtainium laser mech also.
A main stream brand not too boutique, new or preferred used.

Cheers George

Chances are they’re fine together, but definitely check first. Best of luck. https://www.amazon.com/Shanling-ET3-Digital-Transport-Black/dp/B0CRYCYNH7?th=1 https://www.denafrips.com/pontus
