Wanted CD Transport

[isobarik]

There aren't a great many dedicated transports out there, curious as to why it has to be a transport rather than a CD player which can output to spdif?

Hi Stuart
Always fancied owning a transport only machine. Preferably one that doesn't use a VAM 1201/1202 mechanism. Not what I would say, is a good transport mechanism! But that's just my opinion. I use to own a Sony 502 ES......a cracking machine.....still in service now' one of my daughter's still uses it', Shame it didn't have a any digital outputs. Another daughter has my old Technics SL-PS770A and it's never skipped a beat!
I would consider a CD player but it all depends on the mechanism that's in place.

Best regards
Ray

Buy the pioneer dv 300 on ebay, that has quite literally the worlds best spdif output. It uses a memory buffer output with its own clock and the only square wave spdif eye pattern you'll ever see. That why Goldmine used them as the basis of their transports.

Seems reasonable.

Being frank this is what you are going to have to pay minimum, even very basic transports from the past will more than likely be selling for more than this as transport only machines were usually only to be found in the mid to higher end sector and are very popular still. In demand.
