Schiit URD CD Transport SOON?


A non-working model of the long rumored Schiit URD CD Transport has started showing at hifi shows. The device was shown in the Schiit Booth at T.H.E Show in California a week or so ago.

Here’s the article:

I was going to get the URD, but diverged and got a GeerFab Audio D.BOB ($799). I have a Oppo BDP-83 for the transport. I think I paid $250 for the used SACD/CD player.

I got the D.BOB today and have played SACDs and CD's via the Oppo into both my Benchmark DAC3B and Schitt Yggi+ Less is More DACs. My SACD frame of reference is a Sony SCD-1 modded by Vacuum State to Level 5+. That player was amazing but died months ago after 20+ years.

The setup I put together today is even better than the Sony one, especially with the Yggi+. I am going to write up some more about it on another thread about SACD transports.
