comparison between Teac 701t transport vs esoteric p-70 model or alike?

Hi,

thinking of replacing my loved esoteric p-70 vu and renewing my line.

the P70vu is one of the best Redbook transport ever made, yet I don’t need most of its features and the kss-151a pick-up laser is an issue... it’s starting to show its age and no skilled technician here to service such a  unique cd transport player, nor any technical backup ( zero in customer relations for esoteric Teac ) from the manufacturing company ,I am afraid.

relying on Teac’s know-how I thought of their latest affordable transport.

has anyone tried their transport vs older esoteric transport or more expensive current models?

C.E.C is an option also btw. Jay’s audio is a mystery for me- just

recently while looking I heard about that brand.

Hi

The Teac 701t is great.    My past players were Sony ES , some OPPO players and also early on a CAL Delta transport.  Among others.  

The 701t is super quiet.  It feels solid and has a decent remote.   I really like the knob to skip tracks and for menu navigation.  

Sound quality with my Lab 12 DAC is excellent,  the Teac only has Coax and Toslink  which may be a deal breaker for some,  but they sound so good together it is a non issue for me.   

It has a nice sound when handling discs,  doesn't sound like a cheap mechanism.   Sound quality is as good or better than my Aurender N200 with 16/44.1k material.   

I really can't think of any "cons" with this machine.   I'm glad I bought it, not sure how long really good transports will be available and affordable
