I know this might be heresy but I had an Audio Alchemy Pro drive once that was very nice. Never had much respect for the AA stuff but the drive was respectable (IMO). It had a separate power supply and an unusual turntable type transport where the CD was placed shiney side up. During my several years with this product it had no problems al all. I used it with DACs other than AA and it performed admirably. I think the price was reasonable when it was new. If you can find a nice used one it shouldn't cost much and I think you will be pleasantly surprised at it's performance.
Recomendations for simple CD transport
I like what I got in terms of DAC and the rest and am looking for a simple redbook CD transport with the finest sound available new or used under 2K. Just needs to play CD, CDR and CDRW. My DAC is Aragon D2A2. Ideas anyone?
Thanks
Joe
