what you want is a transport that reads CD's like a PC rips them, ie with extensive re-reads, big buffering and maximal error correction. The first Transport to do that was the Tag Mclaren DVD32R, but don't get one of them since they're old and mightily unreliable, then came the Audiolab 8200 series (same idea) and now the higher up project transports seem to do it, but then again so will any old PC with an SPdiff output so why pay a lot. You don't actually need to rip the CD's most if the time. If the disk is relatively error free the PC can play it in real time. If it isn't rip it and re burn it!
