What is the best CDP to be used as a Transport?

Well that kinda puts me at ease as far having a respectable source.I would imagine it would only have to come down to the DAC,synergy and personal taste after that.

I am currently using a Modified ART DAC that is in need for a better PS to have the Bass elevated a bit.

I will look into the EAD to see what it can do also.

Thanks for the responses.

No I have not used another player as yet.I did get a DVD for xmas that I might try soon,but I thought it would be an intresting Q also .That's why I posted it.

I got the Phillips along time ago when I worked for GTE Sylvania and it has never skipped on a CD.

I have heard alot about Marantz,but I do not know if that would be the same as what I have now?

Yes,seems like what Paul Lam stated someplace holds true.Older CDP's seem to have better Transports then most of the Plastic CDP's sold today unless you want to get into ultra expensive stuff.

The Phillips has their CDM-1 Transport and is made from Steel.Was highly regarded,but I think that some manufactures had used the same transport ,but modified the Laser Pickup.That would be to involved for me.Maybe someone like Stan Warren could take a look to see what he could do.

I think Wadia or another Co. used it and were asking $2500+ for the unit with a better Laser setup.

Might last till the next Century.

Thanks Sean that is what I think I will do.
