    What are the options for tiny half size-ish cd transports?

    (Not obsessed over sound quality issues as it'll be linked to a decent dac)

    I can only think of:

    cyrus
    resolution audio opus21
    47labs - not sure about model names though?
    the old teac 1/2 size - model?

    Any others?

    That one Robert has, the top loading Sony.

    The new Micromega is smaller than standard I think. Oh and of course the Chord Blu

    VRDS-9 :)

    Think they also did another small-size model apart from the 9 with VRDS though, for the 500 reference system?

    The TEAC p500 and p700 are outwardly identical and come in a fetching champagne colour. The p700 has the better VRDS mechanism, I think the one in the p500 is the same as that in the T1 and the Wadia 850. Although having heard them side-by-side (I have both), I can't claim to hear any noticeable difference.

    VRDS 9 is smaller still, to fit in with the reference series and comes in either black or champagne.
