Recommend half-width transport

Can someone recommend a good sounding half-width transport? Price under $500 is okay and under $200 would be better.
I would prefer neutral sound without the HF garbage common in cheap transports.
Thanks

Maybe by now, you might find one for a reasonable price.

The Pro-Ject CD Box DS is considerable less expensive (maybe $300US new), and does have a s/pdif coax out. I know nothing about them; I just remembered them when I was last cruising the Pro-ject site for analog gear.
