Every one that I have seen from Sony, Pioneer, Denon, Musical Fidelity, Electrocompaniet, Shanling, Samsung, Philips ... need I go on?? It is true that many portable CD players buffer the data and spool it out to eliminate the effect of shock and vibration. These have an additional clock to read-out the buffer and the transport is actually like a CD-ROM drive, reading the data at much higher speed than the native speed. It's too bad that these designs are not used in more high-end transports. There are a few "computer-type" CD players out now, notably from Cary and Meridian that are actually CD-ROM drives and computers disguised to look and behave like a CD player.
