CD Transport for the next 10 years.....

I'm using a Sonic Frontiers SFT-1 and it's absolutely wonderful. The build quality and sonic performance are outstanding. In addition, the price you'd pay is typically less than what you'd pay for Wadia, Levinson, or Krell. Good luck!

I'd have to say the #37. I have never owned a #31, but I'm sure it is built like a tank. There have been write-ups (stereophile) that prefered the sound of the #37 to the #31--but as we know it's very system dependent and listener preference certainly plays a role at that level. They are both excellent, and the one that is right for you probably has more to do with your budget--they'll both last 10 years easy. Also, I recently bought a Genesis digital lens. It improved the sound, but the odd thing is, that it doesn't measure any jitter from the #37. It did at first--but now that everything has been hooked up and on 24/7--no jitter.

I'd second (third....fourth...?) the Levinson #37.
I've had one about three months, and it's superb. I
previously had an EAD T-1000 which was decent, but
the Levinson is in a different class.

I second the Spectral....unbelievable how good it is.

I also have an EAD Signature pre/pro. Get a transport that has Glass ST fiber output from Wadia or Levinson. The Spectral, Sonic Frontiers T3, Krell KPS 20T and Wadia 270 are excellent CD transport but they work better with their own DAC's to take advantage of seperate clock and data lines feature which is not available on the EAD. The SFT1, PS Audio and Theat Basic are also very good transport but replacement transport is very hard to find since Philips stopped making it a few years ago. I have a Wadia 850 and connect it directly to the amps via balanced outputs.
