USB CD Transports

I read that the Schiit uses a StreamUnlimited CD drive as does the Pro-ject RS2 T transport.  Not sure if it is the same version of it or not.

I have been using DB Poweramp for years ,you do a slower rip ,and 

reread for accuracy ,it even allows you to change Flac,wav, DSD, even Apple from any format at a later date if you choose , and clean the cd first, most people don’t 

realize they stamp the CDs out ,not burn 🔥 thsts why burnt CDs sound better 

much more accurate , Thst being said they apply a powerder as a lubricant when pressing , the cable  co. Sel what’s called Art de son , it a clean liquid a couple sprays and it cleans all the crap out of the pits truly sounds better then you rip it.

once you get to a upper end system then everything  counts when streaming 

good Ethernet cables ,usb cable,linear power supply to router ,and good quality Ethernet switch , as well as dac innous great Ethernet switch very apparent streaming upgrade ,my brother has the best I have heard $3700 retail it better be good .and is !!And my highest recommendation fora Best Buy dac  I know 6 people now ,I myself am  saving for it it meets or beats anything $15k or under $7200 retail

T+A 200 dac   A bit pricy for many  but truly a  bargain by Audiophile standards .

I thank all of you that have responded. It was not my intent to start a discussion about the relative pros and cons of having ones CDs stored on a HDD/SSD versus streaming versus playback from a transport, that topic is like a black hole. I use ROON as my main playback tool running on a NUC/ROCK server, I have a library of 46,000++ albums, all redbook or hi-res, files are stored on a Synology NAS and I use Sonore products as ROON endpoints. I also subscribe to Qobuz for streaming. In my setups the sound of a particular Album is different depending upon whether I play the actual CD on a transport, play it from my library, or play it from Qobuz, (this is  even when I take care to play the same mix/version). I also enjoy playing CDs directly, it's good exercise. I'm interested in acquiring a CD transport with a  USB output and I would appreciate any feedback about the new Schiit and Shanling products.

Esoteric disc players come with a USB port. If you do to like the DAC that is inside you can turn it off and just use it as a transport.

I am considering an URD to use almost solely between a Roon Nucleus and Schiit Yggy Unison USB.  I still have lots of CDs, so the ability to play them is a bonus.  I am mostly interesting in hearing (probably from others first), how much if any of improvement there is when outputting USB from the Schiit Unison chip in the URD, to the Unison input chip in the Yggy, coupled with adding a USB-C to -A converter, as there are not many good audiophile USB-C cables available (Audioquest is the only one I know of).
