I was thinking last night about CD transports to feed my DacMagic and what would make a good transport as there aren't many dedicated transports under the £500 mark.
So it occurred to me that a CD player designed to be used in clubs might be a good bet, as they must be built like to a brick outhouse if they can withstand large sound waves in clubs and frantic disc-swapping by DJs.
I looked at the Numark website and they have a few models which might be suitable, ranging from something like this:

to something like this with a nice slot loading mech:

to this, which looks like it could make an awesome media centre setup:

Can anyone see a downside to using a CD player aimed at DJs? The only ones I can think of, other than the fact they might sound rubbish, are the lack of remote and possible fan or transport noise. I confess I know nothing about DJ equipment.Has anyone tried it? I might go cruising the cash converter type shops sometime to see if I can pick up something cheap.
Any comments or ideas would be very much appreciated.
