Bang For Your Buck Best Value CD Transport
My understanding is that the CD-PRO2M has been out of stock for some time. A nice kit if you can get it.

What would you do?
You have been an exemplary seller. There is nothing wrong with contacting a buyer to see if they are happy. Opens the door to questions they might have about the operation of the unit and exchange of general audiophile chit-chat, which is why we a... 
Digital Cable Recommendation
Second the Stereovox HDVX. Won a Blue Moon award from 6moons.com. Has been working very well in my system. Cost me $100 - going for about $70 used on A'gon, I believe. 
Audio Aero Prima 24/192 Mk II cd player......

Haven't heard the X-DAC but have the Tri-Vista. Terrific DAC. All the comments about soundstage, air, detail are true. Can play heavy classical without getting congested. With this DAC you are not just listening to music, you are listening to musi... 
What Is The Best CD Changer Player Out There?
I am intrested in a low-jitter changer as well. I have so many CDs, I just don't have time to rip them all to a hard drive or what have you. Not only do you have to extract the bits, but you have to type track titles, etc.. What I would like to fi...

You're a generous guy Bobby, and I will take you up on that offer - hopefully some time this week.
