In Reply to: What's the Best CD/DVD player from the past to be used as CD transport? posted by Ki Choi on February 4, 2017 at 11:12:58:
My trusty Classe CDP 1 which I had been using as a transport for years recently died terminally,parts no longer available. I replaced it with a Cambridge CXC TRANSPORT and I'm pleasantly surprised. In keeping what others have said,it's. Probably the DAC that's more important today within reason.That said, I can't tell any difference in the sound of my system between this $500 transport and my multi-thousand CDP from 20 years ago. This is despite the fact that the old unit had an AES/EBU interface and the new unit has only an RCA jack.
Given that CD's are largely a dead end medium.this relatively inexpensive solution was very attractive.
