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


I am asking the Q because at some point on the upgrade merry-go-round I will be replaceing my aging Phillips CD-80 that I use in conjunction with a Smart DAC from Bolder.
Really like the Philly ,but I know there are better out there new or used.

If you're looking for bang for the buck and don't mind getting your hands dirty, try a Marantz CD67SE with an XO3 reclocking circuit. On it's own, the Marantz isn't a great transport but with the XO3 reclocker, the jitter almost completely disappears. I think you be hard pressed to find anything better without spending thousands of dollars.
