Rega Apollo as transport to a Simaudio 280D DAC, works for me. Nordost Coax SPDIF.
CD players that make for a great transport
For those who have an extensive CD collection, own a quality DAC used for streaming, and occasionally enjoy spinning disks, what current model or recent vintage CD players within a budget of $500-$1000 are noted for having a good transport and quality coax digital output?

try finding a good Teac VRDS they made many deferent ones from all in one players and stand alone transports. they are getting a few years old but lots of parts out there and many high end companies used the VRDS system in their own cd played. hard to beet that VRDS transport even now a days as it was copied so much, VRDS stands for Vibration-Free Rigid Disc Clamping. |
mesch I would go for ones on this link that use Philips or Sony laser/mechs and look on the net to see if in the future you have spare lasers still available. Please don't all rush this link,, or you may crash his server. http://vasiltech.narod.ru/CD-Player-DAC-Transport.htm Cheers George |
If you want to spend even less I'd recommend the Sony DVP-S7700. It's actually a DVD/CD player/transport. It's been a budget audiophile favorite for many years and they can be had on the cheap. But with your budget you might be embarrassed to spend so little. They are plentiful on the used market so I say buy one and spend the rest of your money elsewhere.... |
