Best Transport for under a $1000

I am looking for your opinions on the best CD transport for under $1000. I would prefer a AES/EBU connection. I will also be upgrading my DAC in the near future. Here is my associated equipment:

Thiel 2.4
Levinson 27.5
Levinson 38S
MSB Link III DAC with upsampling (soon to be upgraded)
Transparent interconnect/speaker/power cabling.

Thanks

I've enjoyed my Theta Pearl for about three years now. The Pearl can accommodate RCA and balanced connections to your DAC, and it uses the Pioneer Stable Platter mechanism.

I initially had it paired with a Bel Canto DAC1.1, but found real synergy when I switched to a Kora Hermes 24/192 DAC 2 1/2 years ago.

Pearls go for about $600 used.
