DVD players that make good transports


I am currently considering moving to a system where I use a DVD player as a transport to drive either a Bel Canto DAC-1 or a Camelot Uther Mk III DAC. Are there some DVD players available that perform better as transports than others? I do watch some movies and enjoy them, but my main passion is music. The rest of the system consists of a Sony PCM R300 DAT recorder, McCormack TLC-1 Deluxe passive preamp, McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe SMcAudio Revision A power amplifier and Thiel 1.5 speakers. Thanks for any and all opinions and input.

CAL CL-20, currently being used as transport only, I bought it in case I wanted to have video option but like you I really prefer music. I may eventually go to a cd transport only, Stereophile class A (DVD) rated, CAL went the home theater route so no longer in production, usually can find one used around 1300 to 1900 depending on condition. Mine is mint, still has the plastic protective covering over the display! Good Luck
You might consider staying with CD transports alone. I have a Theta Data II "feeding" a GenVa and it is a terrific combo for music. There are Theta IIs for sale used and would not disappoint you musically.
