TASCAM's best-selling CD-200 uses a high-quality transport, the TEAC CD-5020A. The new transport is custom designed for audio playback with a smooth loading drawer and low clamping noise. The internal clock has been improved for a smoother sound and decreased jitter. The CD-200 has unbalanced phono outputs and S/PDIF digital out on coaxial and optical jacks. MP3 and WAV file playback is supported, and front-panel Folder navigation buttons are provided. A wireless remote control with numerical track select buttons is also included.

Excellent transport, April 4, 2012

I an using the CD200 as the transport for an Anedio D2 DAC. Sound quality is superb. Excellent imaging, PRAT and transient response. Very natural reproduction of classical music. Very easy to use and well made to pro standards. As an old broadcast GM, I know the difference between consumer and pro build quality. This is pro. Highly rated!

I purchased this CD player primarily because of it's excellent transport, but I am so pleased to report that the entire unit is "pro quality" as advertised. Very well built and nicely finished; all controls function smoothly with a solid, high-quality feel. The internal transport is indeed top shelf - totally silent and perfectly accurate. I am utilizing the coax digital output from this CDP to my external DAC, but I've found that the internal DAC in the CD-200 is also of high quality. I have no idea whose DAC chip Tascam used in this CDP, but they picked a good one. Unbelievably high value item!!!
