What's a decent, current used transport?


With all the recent posts on transports it's been coincidental that I've been thinking about getting another one. My criteria is to consider only transports that have shown their merit by being around for a bit, but are not of the very old (in technology years) "classic great" transport category. So my criteria is:

1) Must be less than $1K used
2) Must have very good internal clocking / timing scheme
3) Must have AT&T out as well as Toslink and coax
4) Must be relatively recent design that can still be serviced
5) Must be close to (if not hopefully better than) the performance of such classics as the SF SFT-1, Proceed PDT3, etc

CD only is fine.

Marco, I don't think the Cal Delta is supported / supportable anymore. Not sure about the Muse, although I have heard good things about them.

Kana, also have heard great things about the Jade, but these are old enough to where it'd be hard to say even on a clean unit how many hours are on the laser. And again I'm not sure in this case if there are replacement parts anymore for the laser and other bits. If I could find something close to a NOS Jade I'd probably be tempted.
