    This assumes that the winning bidder didn't put in a much higher initial bid that didn't need to be beaten in this particular auction...

    This was my missed bargain of the week, although i already have the DAC and wouldn't have minded trying the CD Transport.

    I nearly bought that Pioneer, but went for the pd 701 instead for about £10 less overall as I figured just using it as a transport they will be the same. I hope I was right lol, they both use the stable platter.

    I imagine there is rather a lot of tweaking one could do to the Pioneer stable platter players for use as a transport, does anyone have any experience tweaking one?

    Bargain! Id already won a sony cdp to use as a transport so I hesitated on bidding. Id imagine they respond well to tweaking.

    Amputate the captive mains cord, fit a male IEC to the stub and fit a better quality mains cord, then these old birds really do fly :)
