Schiit CD Transport on the way soon.

Thought this great news deserved it's own thread. As it's long awaited.
I was sent this link from Alexander of Schiit. They are under staffed at the moment he said with illness.
Schitt’s design team Dave and Ivana talk about a transport somewhere here on a live stream video a couple of weeks ago. https://fb.watch/1w1NgZQhxn/

To show interest, kick them along a little if your waiting for it, send them an email info@schiit.com to ask "how’s it going".
If you get get some info please post it up here, as I’m also waiting with bated breath for one to be released

Cheers George

I bought a Marantz HD CD-1 as my backup transport/player. It's quite nice and ~ $500

   I was going to recommend the TEAC PD-H600 but noticed it's going for over $900 used and when new, sold for $999.
   If you could source one of those from someone who doesn't know any better, you'll get a great, half width sized CDP that's built like a tank, with trickle down from Esoteric. 
 
All the best,

Nonoise,
It seems the TEAC PD-H600 has been discontinued with doesn't auger well for company support, if needed.

I fear the Schiit CD may have vanished into the ether as it's been rumored to exist for a long time but yet it never appears. Supposedly, it was in beta testing a few months ago so, if that's true, maybe there were problems.

Ambiguity by the company contributes to idle speculation like I'm engaging in at the moment.

Thanks for the TEAC PD-H600 suggestion, though!

If it's just the CD sled you're worried about, you can find them online a lot easier and cheaper than any Philips unit. I saw some in England going for about $25.

All the best,
Nonoise
