Affordable CD Transports in 2021?
What are some decent alternatives to a CD transport or recommendations, everything I look at seems to break bank or get sold by the time I'm ready to buy and I'm not finding much solution. I've been watching since early 2020.

If you're on a tight budget, consider a used Pioneer 563 or 578. I have a 578 that I bought brand new, and appreciate the analog 5.1 outputs for use with legacy multichannel equipment. They are universal players.

GuitaristaI'm not actually planning a budget for this one, because my biggest issue in making a purchase for this is consistency of product availability, as if I started my search three years too late, and I've missed the big wave... It seems like everything is just over $700 and dissapears at lightspeed or is top of the line and $1500+, or costs less and is incompatible with my headphone amplifiers.
Something interesting I did find was tube cd players, yet none of them 120v. Everything else seems to stay low stock.

GuitaristaI took a look around, I think I have one of those units laying around the house. While I didn't find it, I tested all the old universal players in my house, they had one thing in common, they all sounded very harsh on my headphone amplifiers. I concluded that I I might be better off picking something that is cd oriented.
Your comment prompted my decision. I decided to try to find a 120v tube cd player. In searching, I found one product with one seller with three listings in three colors, but one each. It doesn't seem to be a well-known product, but I purchased a Bada HD-23 tube cd player in gold. I'm hoping this will be a wonderful addition to my listening corner.
This is the only sample I could find, I saw no reviews:

DROP BMR1 Broken?
Can anyone help me with this? Went away for dinner and came back home to my speakers making this static sound(Video Link). Its like this both in Line In and Bluetooth mode. These speakers were super super hot but I was told that it was normal for it to be this way. Sucks that literally I am just about two months out of the 1 year warranty :/ If anyone can help me that'd be great.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.
