My list was just ones you can currently buy brand new.I would add Sony and Mark Levinson to the list.
Not certain but I don't think either Sony or ML has a CD transport that's currently in production.

Situation with CD at the moment seems to me is a bit like vinyl was ten years ago when a number of companies dropped turntables from their line-ups, only to scurry back into the market when they realised it wasn't drying up like they predicted.

Well I predict that CD prices will increase as the millions who ditched the format and sold their discs to Music Magpie or on car boot sales realise their mistake and start a renewed demand.
Hopefully prices won't increase too much, after all CD production must be quicker and cheaper than vinyl. Unless the record companies take the piss, but they wouldn't do that would they?

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I'd be fine with a niche enthusiast market, offering re-issues with low levels of compression and limiting.
Wouldn't mind paying a bit of a premium for that, it would be easier than trying to find early editions of albums on CD that predate the trend for re-mastering with minimum dynamic range. AKA pointlessly ruining what were superb recordings.

I checked before I posted, and both companies still make a CD player, which can be used as transport; that is they have digital output.

But it was a list of digital transports...
Both TEAC and Moon offer the exact same unit with a DAC built in.
But want an extra £500 for it which makes no sense when you can get a perfectly good separate DAC for about £100. Unless you don't want the extra box but I solved that by getting a pre-amp with a DAC in it
