Which good CD transports can be found in the used market?


I've used the Mac "Superdrive" cd/dvd transport that came with my Mac Mini to play and rip CD's into iTunes. So i know that I'm not getting the best quality 1's and 0's I listen to.   As I'm retired and on a budget, am unable to go out and buy a Cambridge CXC or the like.   Which older-model cd players, dvd players or stand-alone transports do you suggest I consider ...and at what price might I be able to find them?  Thanks, people!!

Teac or Esoteric they have the VRDS system. Just make sure the model you look at doesn’t have KSS151A laser, as they are unobtainium.

Theses models don’t have the KSS151A laser.

ESOTERIC P-0 VRDS-0 – Sanyo SF-C93 / SF-C99

ESOTERIC P-01 VRDS-NEO – SPU3110

ESOTERIC P-02 VRDS-NEO VMK-3.5-20S – SPU3162

ESOTERIC P-03 VRDS-NEO VMK-3.5-20S – SPU3162

ESOTERIC P-05 VRDS-NEO VMK-5 – SPU3162

TEAC VRDS-T1 VRDS CMK-4 – KSS-240A


BTW Some of the better Wadia's also use the Teac VRDS system
