Need to Replace Transport

Moving crew destroyed my Northstar Transport, so, I'm in the market for a replacement.  The new unit will be mated-up to a Chord DAC, Levinson 380S pre-amp, and bi-amped Emerald Physics speakers.  I've been away from the market for a while, so I could use recommendations.  Looking to spend in the neighborhood of $1.5 K.  Thanks!

From the listings:

$1650 you maybe could bargain down a bit a good transport built like a brick s***house.

A solid little transport from Bel Canto for well under your budget.

You will find straight transports harder to find as the market moves away from physical discs.

I would say if @nglazer has that CEC transport in your price range go for it. I've only heard the more entry level CEC and it was magical sounding liquid and relaxed and organic. I can't imagine how good that unit sounds!
