HaHa....I've had the CEC TL5 for over a year....Belt drive...no jitter...Splendid and musical. A sweetheart of a top loading transport. When I teamed it up with a tubed R2R Audio Mirror Toubadour IV I'm listening to a Live performance every night with all my favorite artists.....Sorry if some don't like it @jasonbourne......I love it !
New, Very Interesting CD Transport
On John Darko's website today we learn of the brand new Shanling ET3 CD Transport. And for $729 USD it looks really capable. Top loading with Philips SAA7824 drive. AES/EBU, coaxial, TOSLINK and I2S digital outputs. Plus Wifi and Bluetooth. USB to connect to a external HD and built in upsampling, too. It even will output digital to USB for connection to a DAC but not with upsampling.
Here's the skinny:
