Georgehif, I've been waiting "hopefully for not too much longer the Shiit UrD transport to be released, https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/schiit-cd-transport-on-the-cards-soon" but my expectations are this will be a very long one, indeed.
Since my old NAD CD player has been dead for weeks now, I may default to a Cambridge Audio model. I had been contemplating the much more costly Moon transport (supposedly, Simaudio has a 10 year stock of replacement drives and warranties mechanical parts for 3 years, whereas Cambridge is 1 year only with no assurances on mechanical parts after that), but cost is a consideration.
