If you are not recommending it, how is this useful contribution under a thread looking for specific purchasing advice?
And how much public information is actually available about the said CD transport? Do you personally know enough that it is relevant to and useful for OP’s needs?
If you personally feel the information is valid to share, wouldn’t it be more helpful to create a thread, official or not, to open up a discussion about it?
Gosh you must be a lawyer or a SBAF member ??
Do we need to have a NDA signed here before we state anything or do we have to filter any and all our posts via your “office” ??
Lighten up my friend??
Relax, no need for this traveshamockery. Just a little friendly advice.
Enjoy the music whilst you can!
Oh you can be sure that I am enjoying the music.
No time to waste here.
I have an old cd player, Oppo BD83SE and have thought of upgrading it someday. The title of this post made me think of this all over again.
The ole is it better to use a CD player or a CD transport vs ripping and or streaming via a service.
Relaxing here…
Hi Dave, thanks for remembering my post. Unfortunately, this sale post came out a month too late 
Just took my hifi through a massive revamp and now left with no money
So my CD player, decided to go all wonky again. the controls on the front panel stopped working and when i tested it against another 6005 at the hifi store, something sounded very wrong, maybe the dac chip was failing or something. So got rid of it, also got rid of MF DAC , the parasound power amp and the B& w speakers (traded in all of them except for the cd player which was almost dead).
Got the following:
Marantz CD 6006 (sigh, i know)
Anthem MCA 225
Dali Epicon 2
SVS PC2000 pro
Bluesound node 2i (just started a Tidal hifi subscription)
New Tung Sol tubes for the pre amp
Everything sounds perfect now, maybe when i have saved up enough, will go for the Denafrips DAC which some people here suggested
Good luck with it all. I have the Denafrips in my sights.
