Small Form-Factor CD Player/Transport

I'm looking to see what's out there (and available in the US) as far as smaller CD units are concerned. Transport or Player, preferably front-loading, in that c.$1000USD range. Here's a short list of what I've stumbled across, thus far:

  • Pro-Ject CD Box DS*
  • Teac PD-301-X
  • Rega Apollo (but this is top-load, unfortunately)

Thanks for that Charles. Do you know for a fact that the Pro-Ject RS2T CD transport's I2S output is incompatible with other manufacturer's DACs?

Hi, I do not know this for a fact, just anecdotal reports from other Pro-Ject transport owners. No doubt that the U.S. distributor could provide guidance.

@charles1dad     I thought I had read specifically in one of the threads on AG about this DAC that Project's I2S is only compatible with Project gear.

Yes, that’s why I say my information is anecdotal and not officially sourced.
