Schiit CD Transport on the way soon.

Schiit's having a great year.

Apparently a very good year, it goes to show Schiit make a great sounding products that are far cheaper than the more expensive stuff which has magnetic appeal to the "glitz queens" that love to put their equipment between the speakers to show it off and gaze at it, trouble is it screws up the imaging bad, anything between the speakers does.
 
And paying less for good sound quality, and not paying as much for the looks, is their sales criteria.
I'm all for it, as you listen with the ears and watch the imaging with your eyes, and if there's something in front of you "glitzing away madly", your not listen or watching the music's imaging

Anyone heard anything about the RRP for it yet? Hope they keep it under $1k

On another site it’s rumoured to have this transport laser/mech, if so looks like it could output SACD (dsd)

The SANYO SF-HD850 laser looks to be a top model for Sanyo lasers.

This CD player uses it https://6moons.com/audioreview_articles/goldnote9/2/ in the article they said the same transport laser/mech is also used in the $20K DCS Rossini transport!!!!!!!!!

Stereophile: DCS Rossini

Mentioned the price to be around $1200 in the video. Was hoping it would be under 1k... Guess that's a serious transport mech..
Should I buy Sol or transport first? I don't want the Sol to go away.. is it a permanent fixture of Schiit's lineup?

It's designed manufactured by Schiit California, which is part owned by Mike Moffat, if he had anything to do with it, which is very likely. He was the brain trust behind everything good that came from Theta Digital back in the day they ruled the digital domain.

Hope it sounds as good as the new Hegel Mohican CD transport, which in an a/b  Darko prefers by a lot over the $3K Mytec Brooklyn Bridge streamer.
