Tell me what you think (please)

There are no "new" CD-only transports. All transports will induce low-frequency jitter.

I am using now a my main player a Denon DVD-2390. It has AL24 Processing Plus that besides the upsampling, basically eliminates the mechanism induced jitter - uses an audio DSP to achieve that.
There are others that folow the same idea - using a DSP to break the two clock domains (transport clock and DAC clock). Cambridge Audio (740 and 840) for example.

Others are using off the shelf ASRC cips (AD, TI, CL) to achieve something similar. From what I read, the AD sounds better, but I didn't hear it. I did hear the TI and CL parts and... meah. Not convinced.

This is interesting... I guess it explains why better - more robust - mechanisms like Teac's VRDS or Stable Platter by Pioneer tend to deliver. Since this is gettina a "which transport?" query, I would like to know your opinion on this player: PD-H600 HiFi CD/MP3/WMA Player | TEAC Europe GmbH The reduced size is very useful to me - real estate wise - the construction looks great for the price and it's stand-alone as well.

Don't know nothing about it.
There is no VRDS included in that model. Uses PCM 1796 that is a very good DAC.
The fact that plays MP3 and WMA implies some kind of DSP processing. But the internal 8x oversampling in any DAC is so-and-so. PCm 1796 can bypass internal OS filter is provided witn an external one (better), but I don't think they did that - if they would use DSP for upsampling (like AL24 Processing of Denon) I am sure they would brag about.
It might be something worth listening to.

I bought a new tascam pro cd player for use as a transport with my Anedio dac. Sounds really good and less than $300. Regards
