dCS Puccini CD transport noise


Hello,

I recently bought a new Puccini CD/SACD player. Sound quality is outstanding, and, compared to my previous player (Mark Levinson 390S), a vast improvement.
However, I have one issue. The CD mechanism, when playing discs (or with the pause function activated) is quite noisy. It is a combination of a whirring sound (the spinning disc) and a more constant rustling sound. It is clearly audible from my listening position (3.5-4 meters from the player), e.g. when playing piano and choral music (not to speak of late evening listening). I find this rather annoying, especially as the noise comes from a position squarely in the stereo picture (player on a rack between speakers)

What are the experiences of other Puccini owners in this regard?

How can it be normal when you're not even comparing the same transport?

Assuming that there is noise using the P-03 (VRDS-Neo), such noise (as you are well aware) comes from the ceramic ball bearings used which are not a part of the VOSP design:

I understand that you were frustrated with the P-03 but your comments are, at best, irresponsible.
My friend has a Esoteric SA-50 which features VOSP(Vertically Aligned Optical Stability System), the same using on a Puccini. He encountered the same problem as mine.He sold the SA-50. I am responsible for my comments.
So, the VOSP's non-existent ceramic bearings made the same sound as the ceramic bearing in the VRDS-Neo?
