Schiit CD transport on the cards soon?

Should be very affordable with 14 day trial, like the other products.
Schiit CD transport looks like a popular subject over at the Hoffman forums.
https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/would-anyone-else-love-to-see-a-schiit-cd-player.885167/
Also talk at superbestaudiofriends and Audio Asylum forums as well.

You can bet designer/ceo Mike Moffat (Schiit Audio) when he brings out a transport, he should nail it.
He has Lampizator’s tick of approval in his shootout list of the best all time transports. And Mike Moffat’s old Theta Data took out first place.
Lampizator " The First Battle Of Transports
Description of contenders:
1. Theta - chosen because it is legendary, because it is unmodded and for the worldwide audience can serve as a benchmark, and because it sounds bloody good in my home. So far - by far - my best transport.
Cost used on ebay USD500"

As an update to this, my NAD transport died. I hope(d) to replace it with the long-rumored Schiit CD. So, I wrote to Schiit asking if:
1) The company is actually building this unit and,
2) Approximately when it would be released and,
3) Tom E. replied,

"Hello Keith,

Thank you for your interest. I apologize, however we are unable to discuss new products and/or upgrades/updates before release. I am sorry I couldn't be more helpful."

I'm really not sure if Schiit has abandoned the CD idea or if it's had some development or performance issues. Does anyone have more specific information on this?

Emailed Schiit yesterday to see what’s happening with the new Urd CD transport, I will post up more info on it when they reply.

Schiit is currently live on their YouTube channel talking about the Transport as I type this.

Don’t know if this link will work after I post this since they’re live but check out their YouTube channel “Schiit Audio”

They said they’re real close now.
