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.

I'd keep the CD80 until it stops working. I have a Marantz CD67 and in stock form it's a lousy transport. You have to be prepared to lift the lid and modify it in order to lower the jitter and make it a good transport ... per the recommendation from Jlambrick.
FYI my 15 yr old Mission PCM7000 makes a better transport than my Marantz CD67SE.

They just don't make 'em like they used to! :-)
