Any recommendations for a reasonably priced CD transport for my Benchmark DAC1? My Alesis ML9600 sh#t the bed.

Squeezebox Duet    I have mine into a TADAC and love it.

Always one joker in the crowd, Tough to get a cd in that.

There's been some interest in this lately

A used Rega. The Benchmark requires a really good transport to sound its best. Very neutral piece. It will reveal the faults of the transport in spades. A laptop such as a Mac would be highly reccomended. With a transport the digital cable can be an issue as well. With what can be done with the computer these days a dedicated transport is becoming a thing of the past.

The site says nothing about who makes this and where

Apparently it's made in China.  Look under the link "about us"  on the Vanguard player's site.

Thanks for the recommendations.

But ... I took a shot and replaced the ML9600's hard drive and tada! It's workin' again.
