good luck. I went through the process of trying to find a Philips transport from *anywhere* I could get my hands on it... after about two years of searching, i finally gave up. I've since settled for a commercial transport, which is perhaps just as well, because I hear that when you can find a transport mechanism, they're not cheap! Just wanted to let you know what you're up against here... But, please don't let me discourage you! The last time I looked was about two or three years ago, so if we're lucky, the situation has changed.
No idea about a US source, but the classic reply to this question is http://www.daisy-laser.nl/, who are in Europe, but I'm sure they'd ship to US (if they don't have a distribution network there already). You probably knew this though, as you are looking specifically for a US source...

I came across this the other night, but of course I don't understand any of it.

Transport with Word Clock Interface
I just purchased the HHB CDR850 PLUS unit (Pro-gear). I bought the unit specifically because it not only can read and record CDR media, it also has a sweet interface setup on the back.
Apart from having full AES/EBU digital output (XLR). It also has "BALANCED" XLR digital output (NOT to be confused with AES/EBU). Furthermore, it features a "Word Clock" interface for further jitter control.
Unfortunately in consumer audio - i have not found an external DAC that utilizes Word Clock interfacing (let alone Balanced XLR digital). Any recommendations?

I bought the philips CD723 which has a digital out especially for my DAC projects: a evaluationbaord from Cirrus Logic CDB4397 24bit 192kHZ super ****.. I started the project after reading the Andrea Ciuffoli webpages and Audioexpress article.... But... i like the philips analog out sound better... the whole project costed me about 300$, more then a NAD CD-player :-(
