The Sherbourn CD1 is on sale for $350. It's Emotiva's pro line. Makes an excellent transport and has gotten good reviews as a player. Uses the superb Toshiba slot load mechanism (which is being discontinued) thus the sale. What more can I say.

From Emotiva forum, the Admin wrote:
"The Emotiva ERC-2 and the Sherbourn CD-1 share the same design heritage,
and deliver the same basic features and audiophile sound quality.
Both utilize our reliable heavy-duty Toshiba slot-loading CD transport and powerful LASER to minimize read errors;
both offer Coax S/PDIF, Toslink, and AES/EBU digital inputs, and balanced and unbalanced analog outputs;
and both share dual voltage (115/230 VAC) operation, trigger inputs and outputs, and solid machined aluminum remote controls.

The difference is that the CD-1 has been designed specifically to withstand the rigors of a custom installed environment.
The CD-1 has an upgraded power supply, more robust mechanical construction overall, and an optimized front panel control layout.
The CD-1 also sports a more “industrial” design aesthetic."
