CD transport with functions similar to the newly released Shanking CR60. Price at or below Shanlings price.
Lift off lid rather than spring loaded.
Remote, and basic display showing track number.
Form factor, make same shape as ZA3/ZD3.
For me no DAC required, but may increase your sales if you include one - with the option to bypass via coax/toslink.
Most important, make sure this is a good quality transport. Anyone who has CDs already owns a CD player (I currently use a Sony DVD blueray player), so this needs to be better than the one they already have.
