Transport--Used PS Audio PerfectWave or New Teac VRDS 701T????


Has anyone compared these options for a CD transport? They are within a few hundred dollars of each other(used PS Audio and new Teac VRDS). I like new for mechanical devices, but used 2022 PS Audio units are available. SACD is nice but I don't own any. Teac has step down tech from i't sister company Esoteric, but I don't know anything about the PerfectWave transport. I want the transport to play my current CDs as I am mainly a streamer. Please comment if you have an informed opinion on either. Thanks!!

I have read that PS Audio uses a D and M drive. Once I reserched it, I found it is a Dennon and Marantz "D & M" drive. I don't find in the reviews that the D and M drive is better than the Teac/Esoteric VRDS system. It is interesting that Teac believes that their drives are a competitive advantage and therefore have stopped selling them to other OEMs. I would think Teac would be in a great position to offer support, but the comments above about their poor support are concerning. Any other Goners have experience?
