Completely missed the Bel Canto e.One CDt3 transport. Part Time Audiophile favorite.
I have had one for a couple years now and the only transport I would consider in it's place would be the 260D by Simaudio.
CD transports; do they really matter
In my pursuit of total sonic harmony, I have been investigating whether a CD transport ( to replace my bulky and aged Luxman CD player ) would be a good option. I had an interesting conversation with the manufacturers rep of a respected brand regarding his companies CD transport. He basically said its all in the DAC, the transport, as long as its not a cheap component, does not make much or any difference. So, I ask does it really matter?
