Never forget their trade in offers. Brings it down to $4,500. Still steep though.Analog: MoFi MasterTracker > MoFi UltraDeck > Sutherland 20/20
Digital: Cambridge CXC / Streaming > Cambridge CXN v2

An expensive DAC is required to go along with the transport to get what it's capable of. A two box digital system based on that is probably closer to $12K sticker price.
The video indicates the disc drive is sourced from Marantz. -
I believe the biggest maker of disc drives stopped making them. Most folks bought their drives from philips IIRC.

I would sure like to try it and the mfg. description sure makes it intriguing. On the other hand, and not trying to be negative, unless someone has a huge SACD collection already, they could buy some 300 or so DSD files for that price. Existing CD collections can be ripped to storage.George / NJ

I agree with you but there is still many people that feel the physical media sounds better. Recently I have stepped up my dac and storage \ streaming game and its much closer now. With a few more tweaks, I think it will be there however, between the Zen, dac, cables, and re-clocking devices, I am probably getting closer to spending what this transport cost.
It's still nice to know people are making transports that can do sacd.Klipsch The Nines, Audioquest Thunderbird Interconnect, Innuos Zen MK3 W4S recovery, Revolution Audio Labs USB & Ethernet, Border Patrol SE-I, Audioquest Niagara 5000 & Thunder, Cullen Crossover II PC's. -

I've read where PSA was working on a new "Hi End" DAC, could be the litter mate to this new Transport, my guess anyway...either way I'm sure the CDT sounds VERY good.
