Schiit Urd CD Transport vs Marantz CD6007 Player

Why does a cd transport cost more than a cd player?

Why does a cd transport cost more than a cd player?

They shouldn’t, I’m using on my second system a used (av cost $400) Teac VRDS-7 player, "used as a transport". It took 1min to disconnect all the dac stages from it. Which basically left it as a VRDS-T1 (av cost ($800), but with far better over size and regulated power supply.
So the VRDS-7 as a modded transport, is now a "better" and cheaper than the more expensive to buy used VRDS-T1.

Considering the transport is not available yet nor has a photo been released nobody can say what the difference will be.

@jaudio1, you might just have something there........

I have the Cambridge Audio dedicated CD transport. It is wonderful but what I hear is the DAC that I plug into it. Very happy so far. Under 500 dollars US and clean sounding. I like Schiit gear very much and own some. I imagine the transport they develop will be great. Can't wait to hear what you all say about it.
