Tascam CD-6010

I have been looking for a CD player, but for the very specific task of spinning/playing the discs only, as I have a high quality DAC already. This arrangement offers greater flexibility for up-grades. What attracted me to the Tascam after research was its pedigree, being based on the CD-9010 which is aimed at professional broadcast use. The CD-6010 offers a more conventional design to fit into a hi-fi system, but inherits from the CD-9010 the disc playing mechanism (CD-5010),electronics and power supply. A considerable cost saving is achieved with the Tascam compared to some very costly CD transport solutions, for example the Moon 260D. The Tascam offers the same AES/EBU outputs for example. It also has a high quality DAC section from Asahi Kasei on par with the ESS family of DACs .The Tascam case is somewhat resonant (the area where costs have been saved) but this can be improved upon by damping materials. I was after a cost effective CD transport only solution and found it I believe in the Tascam CD-6010.
