CD transport under $1000

I'm considering a CD transport with coax digital output for use with an APL Denon 3910 DAC.

There have been a couple threads on this topic, but I'm wondering if the suggestions may have changed over time.

Reliability and serviceability are important considerations.

$1000 or less. New or used.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Jeffcott. I'll look into a CEC.

I have a computer source. Not interested in it for reference listening.

Sources I have been rolling around in my head are: Sony DVP7700ES, Doge 6, OPPO...

Forgot to mention, ability to play burned CDs is a must.

Tvad, did you see THIS when you were looking at the Doge?

Nice architecture, good components. Looks like a tank. Plus Joe will give you thirty days to give it a shot....

Not sure about CDr's though.

I did see that, yes. A top loader isn't ideal in my set-up.

I used an Oppo HD980 as a transport and for cd playback. No problems with the sonics when used as a transport but it wasn't the most feature friendly to use. It's now sitting in the living room hooked to the tv for the occasional dvd.
On the plus side the Oppo is cheap so you won't lose much if you don't like it.
