I only mentioned the Tascam CD-200BT because someone else mentioned the $1400 TEAC PD-505T transport. They both share the exact same Teac transport assembly and the Tascam is nearly $1000 less.Personally, I don't believe that the transport contributes much at all to overall SQ as the DAC makes a much much bigger difference. But audiophiles will be audiophiles.
Got rid of my Accuphase CD a few years back along with my CD's. I couldn't be happier with the music server and streaming services.
P.S.
How is that a schematic for the Tascam CD-200BT ? It shows an old iPod interface that the Tascam doesn't have. And why would it require an output isolation transformer when the schematic shows isolation via capacitor coupling for the SPDIF output? If for some reason you don't like it there's Optical TOSLINK out as well.
