I've recently bought a DAC, and was considering the purchase of a modestly-priced CD-player (e.g. a Marantz CD5001 for £79.99 in the Richers sale) to tide me over while I consider the transport situation more seriously (or wait for one to come up on Ebay!). Has anyone got any experience of using a cheap CD-player as a transport? And more specifically: 1. How did/would it compare to a similarly-priced DVD-player? 2. Any recommendations for make and model? Presumably transport performance doesn't always correlate with sound quality. I'm currently using a budget DVD-player, but it's driving me mad - it's fiddly to use and you need to switch the television on to program it!
