Audiolab 6000CDT CD Transport
The Audiolab 6000CDT is a great piece of equipment for the money. I also had a Yamaha player which I replaced in the main system (now in the bedroom system), but also ran it to my DAC as a transport vs a ‘player’. But, the Audiolab just sounds muc... 
Input/Output jack spacing on Schiit Loki Max?

Suggestions for Phono Preamp
@dz13 Interesting. Seems I have heard others getting this same deal recently, perhaps the same seller. So, I assumed a ’liquidation’ of this unit. Perhaps I am mistaken. Maybe this seller is simply liquidating their stock. Regardless, congrats!

Input/Output jack spacing on Schiit Loki Max?
@stuartk All the inputs are standard size RCA and/or XLR. That is not an issue. Your original concern seemed to be the spacing between them. The photos show that difference clearly. Regardless, really should not matter no matter the model chosen.  
which should I get Rogue RP5, Hegel P20, Belles Aria Preamp, Audible Illusion Modulus 3B
@lobinero As a Belles Signature preamp owner, congrats! It will get better as it breaks in too. I have Treo’s (non-CT) I picked up for a great price, and also 2CE Sigs. The 2CE Sig is a wonderful speaker, still have mine, but keep your eyes pe...
