Advice on CD transport

Here’s the situation:

Am purchasing two channel integrated amp with built in DAC shortly (likely Hegel H390. Love the DAC section).  Big CD enthusiast and I’m looking for a great transport under the $1k range (used is more than acceptable).  My issue is buying a standalone transport is too rich for my blood so looking for a CD player with awesome transport. I hate paying for the DAC in it I won’t be using but such is being audio poor. 
I’ve always liked the Rega line but am wondering what anyone has found/used.  If you’ve got any helpful input without getting into DIY, please feel free to chime in.

I solved the CD transport problem some 5 years ago . Discovered Space-Tech Laboratory. They make a transport taking a cd rom drive which you can replace for peanuts. The AES output is better than any transport I have heard including a top of the line Teac. Price is also good.
Problem solved.
