I use a Parasound C\DP-1000 as a Transport, and I love it! I've compared my Parasound to Marantz, EAD, and Rotel's, oh, and an Audio Alchemy drive, which I can't remember; this was back in '96....Anyway, Parasound Player/Transport's are awsome! Especially for the price. Their transport mechanisms are made by CEC, so what does that tell you! Very solid, and reliable!
