Aurender Music Server and CD Transport comparison

I am in the market for a CD transport and I want it to sound as good as my Aurender N100C. How far up the chain do I have to go to get sound that is equal or better than my Aurender? My choice so far is a Jay's Audio CDT2 Mk3 but could I go to an Audiolab transport like the 9000CDT? Should I go as high as the Jay's Audio CDT3-Mk3 I don't want to spend anymore money than I have to since the more I spend the more I get diminishing returns.

The system is Aurender, NAD M2 Digital amp, B & W 805 D4 standmounts.

@sns - comments are spot on.  Other options are CEC Tl-2X not in current production but an excellent sounding transport.  The Pro-ject was the best sounding transport we tried. Older options are the Marantz CD-93 (I think that is the model number or CD-84) and then an older Metronome.  Not sure what they offer today.  They are build very well and offer a very musical sound.

Happy Listening.
