older CD transport vs newer ones.

I added a fairly inexpensive CD transport to my DCS Rossini DAC/Clock and am shocked how much better it sounds spinning a disc vs streaming it.  It's not even a close call.  I was thinking of bettering my CD transport and was looking at options such at the Jay's CD transport.  There are also options such as Mark Levinson 31.5 which was a 10K unit in it's day.  Any thoughts on the best way to go?  I get a little worried about one of these older units breaking and not being able to get it fixed.

This is the best transportation in the world that Esoteric only uses for its products. Not even $ 80,000 Dcs Vivaldi can have it since Esoteric won't give him. minimal distortion and the triumph of modern digital engineering. if you find a used k03xd at a good price yoy might give it a try.
