If you're talking inexpensive, try to track Ebay for factory refurbished CXCs which show up at $300-350. IMO, the best deal for the money. Works very well and I don't think it can be bettered at the refurbished price. If I had to pay full price, I think I would be tempted to go for the Audiolab if I had to go without audition.
Inexpensive CD Transport...
I'm in the market for a CD transport to work with my Schitt Bifrost and Primaluna integrated amp. Based largely on information from this site, I'm looking at the Cambridge Audio CXC, Audiolab 6000CDT, and the new Marantz CD6007 (and, yes, I realize it has a DAC). Are there others I should be considering? Which of these would you choose, and why? Thanks for any advice - I'm truly stymied here!
