Looking for suggestions for a <$3K CD transport

[JDC]

Hello All,
My Cambridge needs to be replaced.
I'm curious about Jay's, TEAC (either the 505, or the 701 - which is kinda over-budget), and any others that you folks may have in mind.
Thanks in advance,
J

Although I have no personal experience I’ve heard people say the Rega Saturn Mk3 was good. I think it’s just over $3,000 tho.

For a good replacement for your Cambridge check out Marantz. You know my opinion on Teac but if out of budget the Marantz are sweet. I haven't heard the stand alone player in a long time Arcam does good digital. Your budget allows for good options.

JDC - I've enjoyed my Jay's Audio CDT2-MK3 for about 4 years now - it was $2,500 in 2021. Very nice, heavy, well engineered, trouble-free unit.

I also enjoyed my Jay’s audio CDT 2. I liked it so much I upgraded to the CDT 3
