Am looking to get a CD Transport. It will be connected to a M2Tech Young DSD DAC and into a Jadis i35 Integrated Amplifier.
Any good transport that is out there?
Am looking for one that is detail, great soundstage, resolution, engaging, musical. I listen to a wide range of music from vocals, to jazz, classical and to rock.
I would recommend you try the 47 Labs Shigaraki transport. It's a top loader with a puck and I bet would look as well as sound great with your Jadis. It comes in below the $2,500 limit. Nice bonus
Hi TJ, may I recommend the Simaudio Moon DT 260 transport that I have. Cost is $ 1800 in my silver finish or $ 2000 in black. It replaces my old, much more expensive, Wadia 8 transport and sounds identical on my DAC, with the same low-level spatial resolution. It uses the same technology as the transports in the much higher priced Simaudio CD players. I am very happy with it.
Will certainly check the 47 labs and Simaudio out. Thanks Purite Audio for your input on how the Young DSD is so neutral.
Can I ask if anyone has any experience with dCS Verdi CD Transport, the CEC TL1X, the TEAC VRDS 25x and lastly, the China made Opera Consonance Droplet CDP-5.0?

I have used the dCS Verdi in combination with my Elgar Plus dac. The Verdi started having troubles reading cds. The worst thing was that dCS does not service it anymore (too old, not enough spare parts) so...my advice keep away from it. Bought a second hand Spectral 3000. Never been happier: killed the dCS in transparancy, rhythm etc. Amazing since you would think the dcs set would have an extra synergy (clocklink etc.)
Thanks nirodha for the heads up on the dCS Verdi transport. Looks like I will be staying clear of it. Thanks for the Spectral 3000 suggestion. Will check it out too.
Yes I've owned the Jadis--excellent transport--rare to find on the S/H market but they do appear
The Pierre Lurne Mephisto is an excellent Drive --cheap on the used sites --a Sanyo laser I think so replaceable
Best Drive is the TLO CEC--they go for $4k US used but with it with provisio -- They don't like some CD-R's and couple of my storebought CD's were refused as well
